consumptions of medicines having ethanol

Hare krishna,
dandawat pranam to all devotees
all glories to srila prabhupad.

Few days ago one neophyte devotee asked me one question and was confused what to reply him. So I am putting this query in this forum.

In ISKCON, it is prohibited to take alcohol which is chemically known as ethanol. In many medicines, there is some percentage of ethanol mixed, so we should not intake those medicines? In many medicines ethanol is mixed as an excipient.

Hare krishna.
