Capsules are gelatin, I'm a vegetarian, gelatin is assumed to be from animals unless clearly labelled otherwise

You know, I never made that connection before now -- I just never thought about what drug casings are made out of. Now I'm curious about whether any of the over-the-counter capsule drugs have hechshers (kosher certification marks), which would provide some information on this point. On the other hand, Kosher Mart doesn't have a pharmacy, so either this is a solved problem (most have hechshers, or medical necessity just plain wins) or most of the observant market doesn't care about this (which would be surprising). Curious.
