HOW TO USE THE GUIDE

This listing is for Passover {{ thisYear + 3760 }} ({{ thisYear }}) only, and cannot be relied upon for forthcoming years since there are changes in product processing and suppliers.

The first section contains an alphabetical listing of chometz-free medications, vitamins and dietary supplements. Each medicine is followed by the name of the manufacturer. We have indicated "no animal" or "contains animal" when that information has been provided to us. When no mention of animal is made next to a product, the product still may be non-kosher. We have indicated "kitniyos" or "no kitniyos" when the information has been provided to us and it is relevant. When no statement regarding kitniyos has been made, the product may or may not contain kitniyos.

This list is in alphabetical order by product name. Note that manufacturer names are important, since many medications have similar names but are not manufactured from the same source material. A cough elixir produced by one company may be permitted since it uses a synthetic alcohol, while the elixir from another company may be forbidden since it uses a chometz-based grain alcohol. We have contacted many companies including generic manufacturers and have included medications from the companies who responded to us. We are not able to publish product information for companies whose updated information was not provided to us this year. Products with identical names from generic companies or distributed outside the United States may have different formulations, thus compromising their Passover status.

The second section contains a list of chometz-free cosmetics and personal care products (e.g., blush, deodorant, creams, toothpaste, etc.). The next sections, Addendum I and Addendum II, list chometz products.

One may use only containers of Passover approved medicines or supplements whose contents have not come into contact with chometz. Most cosmetics, creams, ointments, lotions, etc. may not be applied on Shabbos & Yom Tov. Consult your rav for specific details.
