I once asked this shailah. I was told that if it’s a pill for when you’re healthy, it’s better to avoid it.

If you’re sick and the pill comes in different forms (regular pill, capsule, chewable, etc.) you should get the one that isn’t treif. If it only comes in one form, there is definitely no problem, and it would be assur to avoid the medicine because of kashrus.
