VeganMed, Inc.

The largest centralized resource for information on animal-derived ingredients and allergens in health products.

3 out of 4 medications contain animal-derived ingredients, however consumers don't know which ones. The significance of finding medications without animal-derived ingredients has never been more critical, particularly for individuals diagnosed with Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) and those with specific dietary or religious preferences. One example are statins, a widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug class and often containing components derived from animals, can pose a severe risk of allergic reactions to AGS patients. In fact, hospitalization and even death have been reported due to animal-derived ingredients in medications.?

We are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with OptioRx , a leading compounding pharmacy specializing in compounded medications, to provide a vital solution for patients across the United States!

Here's how it works: Patients and healthcare providers can connect with VeganMed to identify suitable medications that can be compounded or made available without animal-derived ingredients. When suitable, prescriptions are directed to OptioRx for the processing and shipment of specific animal-free medications to patients nationwide.

This proactive initiative ensures that individuals with specific allergens are not exposed to life-threatening risks and that those with dietary restrictions or religious beliefs have access to vital medications without compromising their principles.

This collaboration represents a significant stride in healthcare, addressing the diverse needs and preferences of patients nationwide. The initiative aims to prevent hospitalizations and even fatalities due to a lack of awareness and options.

At the core of this partnership lies a commitment to creating medications free from animal-derived components, providing a safe and inclusive solution for all. This transformative collaboration emphasizes a new era in healthcare, catering to the varied needs of individuals across the nation.

Our team would like to express heartfelt gratitude to OptioRx and the countless patients whose voices have gone unheard for too long. We couldn't have reached this amazing milestone without all your support!
