Taking a tablet that has gelatine when there is no alternative

Q: Is it permissible to take a tablet that has gelatine from which the source of the gelatine is not known (fluconazole) for medical purposes since there is no alternative in SA ?

A: If there is no substitute and it is a genuine medical need then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
