[Avodah] Many medications are encased in gelatin capsules. May these be used?

FYI I heard many years ago from R Boruch Abaranok z"l, a talmid at 
Radin, long-time rabbi of Mizrachi in Melbourne, and posek for what was 
then known as the Mizrachi Kashrut Committee and is now known as Kosher 
Australia, that anything taken as a medicine does not need to be kosher.
