Over-the-Counter Medication


Generally, when taking medication during Passover, preference should be given to non-chewable tablets rather than liquids and chewable tablets. Many products contain ingredients that are only permitted to be used on Passover for medical reasons. A competent Rav who is familiar with the information upon which this flyer is based must be consulted prior to the use of these products. If there is any item that you must take during Passover and it is not found with reliable Passover supervision, please contact your Rav who may have additional information.

NOTE: Tylenol Syrup (Elixir), Tylenol Suspension Drops and Tylenol Suspension Syrup may contain non-kosher glycerine. The products recommended below, do not. Many medications in this list contain less than 50% corn product.
