Question
Is it permissible to take a dietary supplement called Relactium (Lactium), which is said to contain milk protein, is intended for swallowing, and is under the supervision of the Nof HaGalil Rabbinate and is dairy? Also, how should one handle the dairy aspect: is it permissible to swallow when I am meat, and perhaps after swallowing wait to become meat because it might digest together in the stomach?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
A medicine for eating, which has a good taste, requires kashrut. A medicine for swallowing is permitted to be taken for medical purposes even without kashrut.
Swallowing in this manner is not considered 'dairy food'.
