I dont know about the database Jon - but would be very interested to find out!
You might find this publication useful http://www.medicines-partnership.org/our-publications/drugs-of-porcine-origin
"Medicines Partnership was part of a group which in April 2004 launched a BNF-sized booklet for health professionals on drugs of porcine origin and their clinical alternatives. The booklet not only provides a directory of drugs of porcine origin and their alternatives, but also provides guidance on the religious and cultural aspects of porcine derived products and explains why and how patients should be involved in decisions about medicines.

Subject: Muslim medications
Hi!
Apparently, WHO has a database of medications that are acceptable to Muslims. Is anyone familiar with it and/or know where I can find it?
Cheers
