Why this status

What to do next

1. Do not stop your medicine without speaking to your clinician.
2. Ask your pharmacist about the source of any flagged excipients (e.g., stearate, gelatin, glycerin).
3. Ask whether a different manufacturer or formulation has a clearer ingredient profile.
4. If fiqh nuance applies (e.g., ethanol or animal-derived), consult a qualified scholar.
5. Save to My Meds to track and re-check later.
