Tylenol not suitable for halal diet
Assalamualaikum.
I recently found out tylenol contains an ingredient called shellac, which is a glaze coating derived from bugs. I know many Muslims are unaware of this as I know many Muslim doctors who recommend taking it. I have tried to look for an alternative acetaminophen, but all the store brand ones have streaic acid which may be derived from cows, pigs, or plants. Does anyone know which brand of acetaminophen would be halal?
