I take vegetarian (vegan actually, I think simply because it's simple to find) multivitamins. It's easy with multivitamins, because that's a widely taken item. When I had to get one of my diagnostic tests done, I had to swallow a gel cap, as there was simply no alternative. And for sufficient medical reasons, I'll do that. But I really don't like doing that, and I would hate having to do that daily. It's quite nice when there are options. Although I do understand that sometimes because of the delivery mechanism needed there aren't going to be many options, and there isn't enough demand to make the coatings vegetarian. And some prescription drugs just don't come in numerous varieties (and while liquid compounding is sometimes potentially possible, it'd be extremely expensive). It's one of the things I was looking at when looking over migraine drugs - which have tablet versions. Also, which have which side effects, of course. As the whole medical aspect is important too. :)
