In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is permissible for you to not fast and continue taking your tablets. Instead, for each fast, you will have to donate 1.6 kilograms of wheat or its value to the poor.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
