Here at VeganMed, we often get asked "Is Tylenol vegan?", "Is there a vegan acetaminophen product?", and for our UK friends..."Is Panadol vegan?", "Is there a vegan paracetamol product?". Calling a medicine "vegan" gets tricky. The first thing to understand when exploring vegan medications is FDA regulations, which require animal testing during the research portion of new drug development. Most vegan lifestyles prohibit the exploitation of animals for any reason. By that definition, medicines cannot be vegan. However, they can be animal-free, meaning they do not contain any animal products.
Is Tylenol vegan?
While not all Tylenol products are animal-free, many standard Tylenol tablets contain ingredients such as magnesium stearate, glycerin, and shellac. It's important to understand that the sources of magnesium stearate and glycerin can differ; they may be derived from either animal or plant origins. Our researchers at VeganMed reviewed all 35 Tylenol products and found 2 to be animal-free! We have confirmed with the manufacturer that none of the ingredients in these products are sourced from animals:
