VeganMed is on a mission to bring transparency to labeling in medication. Dr. Jasmine Uchi and Dr. Yen Nguyen, pharmacists at VeganMed, share what they’re doing to make it easier to learn what’s in your medication and how they’re making it safer to navigate pharmaceuticals for those of us whose lifestyle requires it. Listen in to hear about VeganMed’s mission to serve people and their dedication to provide resources to determine if your medication is animal-free.

Dr. Yen Nguyen is one of the Medical Information Specialists with VeganMed. She is a Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist who also practices in the community retail setting. Her recent state-of-the-art paper titled "Embracing Medication Needs of Patients based on Ethical, Dietary, and Religious Preferences” delves into the complex needs of patients who avoid medications containing animal-derived ingredients. During her free time, she’s out exploring the world and discovering new food destinations.

Dr. Jasmine Uchi is a pharmacist who leads Medical Information and Innovation with VeganMed. Being the first responder for patient inquiries, she is internally known as the “alpha-gal pharmacist.” She is currently conducting a study on alpha-gal allergy, exploring its impact on patients’ quality of life. Her goal is to raise awareness of AGS among healthcare professionals to help make a real difference in patients’ lives. For fun, Dr. Uchi enjoys journaling and traveling while spending quality time with her newly adopted 5 year old Frenchie.

VeganMed was founded in 2018 by pharmacists to create a kinder world where medications, supplements and cosmetics are made without animal-derived ingredients. We are the world's most credible, freely available source for patients and healthcare providers to find health products without animal-derived ingredients. For manufacturers, we offer a one-of-a-kind "Animal-Free" Certification program. Our certification mark is simple, inclusive and comprehensive enough to support a broad range of different lifestyles and beliefs.
