Fasting and Medicine
Question
Are those suffering from headaches allowed to take a Dexmol Plus pill without water?
The pill contains a large amount of caffeine, and in any case helps.
Answer
It would seem so. See, for example, Rabbi Asher Weiss’s comments here: https://tvunah.org/%D7%9C%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%97%D7%AA-%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%91%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%A8/
