"Years ago, many people thought that halal is only applicable to food and beverages. However, consumer awareness is now increasingly inclined towards halal being part of their everyday lifestyles and for those who want a better quality of life with greater peace of mind by consciously choosing halal products. Thus, halal pharmaceutical products are now poised to be the new frontier for the global halal economy, especially with the availability of the world’s first Halal Pharmaceutical Standard MS2424:2012 Halal Pharmaceuticals – General Guidelines, creating more avenues for consumers to make informed choices in choosing approved medicines that are safe, efficacious, of quality and hygienic whilst at the same time fulfilling the obligatory requirements under Shariah."
