Dear Rabbi Simon,
I wonder if you can help with this query.
My daughter has been given a medication for anxiety around flying. Apparently it contains grape juice – it’s a liquid medication (homeopathic). It’s not marked kosher, so wondering if she would be able to use it?
Many thanks,
Julie
Dear Julie,
Liquid homeopathic medication with a grape juice base is difficult to approve, in the absence of a potential danger to life. Best is to encourage your daughter to enquire about an alternative without grape derivatives. Upholding halakhah is a path to alleviating anxiety as well ?.
Best wishes
Rabbi Rashi Simon
