Ban Gelatin capsules as a delivery mechanism for medication

Closed 1,142 signatures

What the petition asks

Gelatin is widely used in capsules, raising ethical issues for vegetarians, vegans, and those following certain religions. This presents a dilemma for many who must choose between their beliefs and necessary medications.

It is important that medicines are inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of dietary restrictions or ethical beliefs. A shift away from gelatin capsules towards more inclusive alternatives not only aligns with the principles of diversity and respect but also widens the availability of medications to all segments of the population.

We call upon the government to introduce legislation to ban the use of gelatine capsules and use readily available alternatives instead.
