Dr. Jasmine Uchi discusses the critical need for transparency around hidden animal ingredients in medications, advocating for consumer safety and informed choices.
VeganMed is proud to announce that our own Director of Medical Affairs and Operations, Dr. Jasmine Uchi, has been featured in Vegconomist, sharing her expert insights on hidden animal-derived ingredients in medications. In her op-ed, Dr. Uchi discusses the urgent need for transparency in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for consumers with dietary restrictions, ethical concerns, and allergies such as Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS).
"As patients and healthcare providers increasingly seek clarity around ingredients in medications, transparency has become a critical issue for personal safety and informed decision-making," says Dr. Uchi.
Her piece highlights the importance of empowering consumers with knowledge about what goes into their medications, an issue at the heart of VeganMed's mission.
VeganMed remains committed to offering solutions for patients and healthcare providers by providing access to over 2,000 animal-free medications, while leading the charge on ingredient transparency in pharmaceuticals.
