There is no best time to raise the matter of animal-derived medication, but it is important to do so before the prescription is written and as far in advance as possible of the time at which it will be administered, so that the alternative pharmaceutical options can be made available to the patient. If you are a prescriber, the most appropriate time to raise the matter is during your normal questioning and examination of the patient.
