HalalMed is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to guiding the Muslim community, healthcare professionals and key stakeholders on how to navigate the use of medicines in context of a halal diet. We aim to educate and promote transparency about the sources of ingredients and excipients in medicines.
Founded in 2025 by a group of pharmacists, HalalMed was established in response to a growing number of queries and concerns from patients about the compatibility of their medicines with faith-based dietary requirements. HalalMed aims to provide and encourage clear and accessible information regarding faith and medicines to support informed, person centered discussions that respect individual values, beliefs and preferences
We welcome engagement from healthcare bodies, regulators and pharmaceutical companies to improve transparency around medicine excipients. Our focus is on helping Muslims patients, healthcare professionals and the wider community access reliable information to make informed choices, advocating for a more inclusive, faith-sensitive approach to healthcare.
