Question
Lozenges for throat pain from Strepsils - sugar-free. Is it permissible to use them?
Answer
Hello,
The general rule is that a tasteless medication does not require kosher certification.
A medication with a good taste - if there is danger, it is permitted to take it. If there is no danger, kosher certification is required.
According to the instructions of our teacher, Rabbi, shlita, for a medication with taste, one can rely on basic kosher certification, and there is no obligation to adhere to mehadrin kosher.
