Computed from named public guides — NOT independently scholar-ratified. For doubtful items, consult a scholar you trust. Halalyzer never invents a ruling and never uses AI for the verdict.

Bovine lung-derived; bovine is not inherently haram but the slaughter method is unverified — doubtful, NOT haram. Darura (necessity, Quran 2:173) permits a prescribed medicine with no halal equivalent — consult a pharmacist; this verdict reflects the ingredient source, not a prohibition on necessary treatment.
