VeganMed, a pioneer in animal-free medications, is excited to announce its new partnership with Good Graces Pharmacy in Willow Springs, Missouri. This collaboration is designed to increase access to vegan-friendly health products and raise awareness of Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) in Missouri, one of the states with the highest prevalence of the condition. Alpha-gal Syndrome, an allergy to red meat triggered by the alpha-gal carbohydrate found in mammalian-derived ingredients, has seen a significant rise in reported cases across Missouri. VeganMed's collaboration with Good Graces Pharmacy underscores their commitment to providing solutions tailored to the needs of AGS patients, who must avoid medications containing mammal-derived ingredients. Brandon Gregory, PharmD, Pharmacist & Owner of Good Graces Pharmacy, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "With our ever-growing population requiring special ingredient lists, our partnership with VeganMed is a great addition to our services we provide our patients. We now can focus more on the patients instead of spending countless hours on the phone with multiple manufacturers attempting to gain information for the medications.

< Back AAAAI Highlights Pill Clarity's Research on Animal-Free Medications for AGS Patients VeganMed, Inc. Feb 10, 2025 Leading allergy organization reinforces the call for ingredient transparency in pharmaceuticals The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) recently featured research conducted by our team (formerly VeganMed) at the 2025 AAAAI / WAO Joint Congress in San Diego. The study revealed an 81.9% increase in inquiries related to animal-free medications for patients with Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), spotlighting a major gap in medication ingredient transparency. In the press release, Dr. Cora Altomari, our lead author and medical information pharmacist, stated: "The 3-fold increase in the number of animal-free medications inquired about reflects the challenges faced by alpha-gal syndrome patients. Because of the centralized platform at VeganMed, our team was able to help a patient with 37 medications in under 30 minutes. I encourage every healthcare provider and pharmaceutical industry to partner with us to improve patient safety." The study analyzed 1,534 unique inquiries across 2,106 medications from 746 patients in Q1 and Q2 of 2024. Among the key findings: Animal-free alternatives were available 79.3% of the time Top medications inquired about included famotidine, levothyroxine, vitamin D, cetirizine, and amoxicillin Hydrochlorothiazide, which lacks an animal-free version, was the most inquired-about drug Only 6.1% of inquiries came from healthcare providers, underscoring the burden placed on patients This research underscores the urgent need for increased provider awareness and full disclosure of animal-derived ingredients in medications to prevent adverse reactions, especially among patients with AGS.

< Back New Study Presented at ASHP Midyear Reveals Critical Gaps in Manufacturer Transparency on Animal-Derived Ingredients VeganMed Dec 8, 2024 Patients with Alpha-gal Syndrome face delays, inaccuracies, and dead ends when seeking safe medication information from drug manufacturers A new study presented at the 2024 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting exposes the persistent barriers patients with Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) face in obtaining accurate, timely ingredient information from drug manufacturers. The study, titled “Evaluating Drug Manufacturers’ Responses to Animal-Free Inquiries: A Nonsystematic Review of Accuracy, Response Time, and Impact on Patient Experience,” was conducted by a team of pharmacy researchers from the University of Connecticut, University of Arizona, and VeganMed, Inc. “For patients with Alpha-gal Syndrome, every medication inquiry can be a matter of safety,” said Dr. Sachin A. Shah, PharmD, FACC , Co-founder and CEO of Pill Clarity . “Our findings show that getting clear answers from drug manufacturers is not only difficult — it’s often inaccurate.” Study Highlights: The research team contacted 123 global drug manufacturers to inquire about animal-derived and carrageenan -derived ingredients across 200 commonly prescribed medications. Only 49% of manufacturers responded with an answer about animal-derived content after the initial outreach. 28% never responded , even after a second follow-up. Of the companies that did respond, 6% provided incorrect information on animal-free status and 8.5% on carrageenan content , based on a cross-check with DailyMed listings. On average, it took 5 (±4) business days for manufacturers to respond with a clear yes/no answer. 17 companies told patients to call instead of replying in writing , while others offered vague or redirected replies. A total of 278 emails were exchanged for 123 inquiries — illustrating the burden placed on patients or caregivers to uncover basic ingredient details. Why It Matters: Alpha-gal Syndrome , a tick-borne allergic condition triggered by exposure to mammalian-derived substances, requires strict avoidance of certain excipients commonly found in medications, including gelatin, lactose, magnesium stearate, and carrageenan. Inaccurate or delayed responses from manufacturers can lead to severe allergic reactions , treatment delays, or loss of patient trust. “This study highlights just how broken the system is when patients or even clinicians seek safe medications,” said Cora Altomari , study co-author and Medical Information Lead at VeganMed. “We need centralized, verified platforms that eliminate guesswork.” The Solution: Pill Clarity ( www.pillclarity.org ), founded by pharmacists, is a free national medical information platform that helps patients and clinicians identify medications that are free of mammalian- and carrageenan-derived ingredients. The organization is advocating for: Standardized response letters from manufacturers Ingredient-level transparency across all suppliers and formulations Centralized, publicly accessible databases for excipient information Dr. Shah added, “With over 33 million Americans impacted by food allergies, and AGS on the rise, transparency isn’t optional — it’s essential.” Previous Next
