Gelatin in Medicine
Question
There is a medicine called Kozamin that is beneficial for cartilage problems in the knees. It comes from abroad in the form of capsules containing gelatin, and it is said that abroad gelatin is made from pork. Is it permissible to use it, or should the capsules be dismantled, which is not easy and very unpleasant?

Since it is a medicine and it has no taste, it is permissible to use it.
