Vegan Medications: Alpha-gal and Vegan-Friendly Pharmacy Database

Cora Altomari

Updated: Mar 19

Important: This service is only for patients using the listed pharmacy. Do NOT call the pharmacy for information on animal-free medications. For help finding animal-free meds for another pharmacy (not listed below), contact VeganMed.

*Please note that while OptioRx is able to deliver prescriptions to all 50 states, only their physical store locations are marked on the map


The VeganMed team is dedicated to supporting the alpha-gal community, individuals with specific allergies to excipients or ingredients, and those choosing an animal-free lifestyle for personal, religious, or dietary reasons. 


To assist patients in their quest to find suitable medications, we've compiled a guide of pharmacies that collaborate with VeganMed. These pharmacies are well-versed in identifying animal-free medications for both vegan and Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) patients. We educate them on AGS and how to manage medication changes to meet these dietary restrictions.

Final Thoughts!

While this list is most applicable to patients with Alpha-gal Syndrome or vegan patients, we pose the following question - is there ANY reason to not consume an animal-free medication when options are available (at the same cost)? We can’t think of any.
