Yup

Or find a compounding pharmacy that can make it free of animal products

there are vegetarian capsules for some things but even if you could always get a vegetarian capsule there is no way to dance around the fact that there was animal testing involved.

Well vegans never need meds because they're so healthy. BUT what about the billions of people that don't consume beef or pork products for religious reasons?

Based on what?

Just because I am a vegan, doesn't mean I can fall ill or can't get cancer. And I'll happily take the treatment if it saves my life. I am not anti medicine or anything. And on top of that, most modern medicine exists because of testing on animals. I am not going to refuse the pox vaccination just because it was tested on a horse hundred or so years ago.

I try to be responsible with what I eat, but I am not an idiot.

There aren't many religions that prohibit both of those, and both of them are viable sources for gelatin - as are some other sources.

Ah, yes. Don't follow a system or belief, still try to hold those that do to an absolutely rigid standard.

Good one.

depends on the vegan

not every vegan is so for ethical reasons
not every ethical vegan is as limiting as others (see: vegan arguments over honey)
some vegans argue that because lab animals are treated fairly well, it's not cruelty. others argue that since they cannot consent, it's still cruelty
mollusks, raising their own animals well, etc., etc. we could go on

the vegans I know irl are not wholly irrational in their lifestyle choice. if they require medicine, yeah they'll try to source it from cruelty free ways, but they accept that it can be necessary to use medicine with gelatin or was tested on animals

There are some vegetarian/vegan capsules but unless they're super hardcore by the book it's best to just ignore it or take tablet formulations.

Some things are inescapable tbh

Capsules are not one of them. It's not hard to use vegetarian capsules.

OTC sure in a general sense, not always the case with prescription.
