KASHRUT INFORMATION  PESACH    PESACH MEDICINES

Search Pesach Medicines

The Kashrut Division has analysed an extensive range of the most commonly prescribed and used medications for use on Pesach.

The sheer number of different medications available makes it impossible to list each and every alternative.

In all cases, DO NOT make any changes to your normal prescribed medication without first consulting with your doctor and Rabbi.

Information about Pesach Medication List

  • Items marked as "KFP" are Kosher for Pesach and may be taken without any restrictions.

  • Medication containing KITNIYOT, may be taken on Pesach, without any restrictions, and have therefore been classified as "KFP". However, we have labeled those medications which contain KITNIYOT.

  • Items marked as "Chametz" should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor, are essential, and there is no suitable alternative available. It is recommended that tablets be swallowed, wrapped in a piece of lettuce or single ply tissue.

  • Items prescribed by a doctor which do not appear on this list or which are marked as "UNKNOWN", may be taken if no suitable alternative is available. It is recommended that tablets be wrapped in a piece of lettuce or single ply tissue.

  • There are no locally produced Kosher for Pesach vitamins.
