Let's clarify the vegetarian status of Prolical Plus and the meaning of the green dot on its packaging.

• Green Dot Meaning: In India, a green dot on medication packaging indicates that the product is vegetarian, meaning it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

• Prolical Plus Ingredients: This tablet contains cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and mecobalamin (a form of vitamin B12), among other vitamins and minerals. While many vitamins can be derived from both plant and animal sources, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is often sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool), which is animal-derived, making some formulations non-vegetarian.

• Why a Non-Vegetarian Product Might Have a Green Dot: Sometimes, manufacturers may use vegetarian sources of these vitamins or there may be labeling inconsistencies. The green dot should only be present if the product is confirmed vegetarian. If the product contains animal-derived ingredients, it should carry a brown dot instead.

• Recommendation: To be certain about the vegetarian status of Prolical Plus, it is best to check directly with the manufacturer or consult your pharmacist. They can provide specific information about the source of the ingredients in the tablet you have.
