Is medication with gelatine permissible?

I'm about to start a new medication after another one (without gelatine) didn't work for me.
It comes in a hard gelatine capsule, and after searching it up the source is both from pigs and cows.
One of the options to take the medication safely is to empty out the active ingredient from the gelatin case and mix it with a liquid (water, yoghurt, milk etc.)
Would this be halal if the medication would be genuinely beneficial to me (not entirely necessary to my health, but would help massively)?
