Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatu,

There's this prenatal vitamin that contains Vitamin A. The vitamin contains gelatin that comes from pig. Could you please let me know if this prenatal vitamin can be taken? Can the ruling of the vinegar be applied here?

Jazaakum Allaahu khairan.

Al-hamdu-li-llah wa as-Salatu wa as-Salamu 'ala Rasool-il-llah,

If there is no alternative to a particular medicine, and you are told that you cannot open the capsule and only swallow the contents inside, you may take those capsules. That is because the complete transformation of the porcine derivatives of gelatin is controversial.  The ruling is therefore to avoid such products in food, and in medicine as well, unless there is no alternative to a particular medicine, in which case it may be consumed.

And Allah knows best.
