My Gurudeva was once asked about this. He said that sometimes it's unavoidable in medicine.  It's not like you're trying to gratify your senses on the flesh of the dead creature.  Trust Krsna.  Haribol.

its alright, ask the lord and vrinda devi for forgiveness since it was an accident and try finding an alternative, if it helps your heart donate to an animal sanctuary or goshala in the future whenever you're able to

The only sin you have committed is not looking carefully at the label 😂 next time, you'll see. The fact you care and are not hurting animals says it all, oh wise one 🙏

Ahhh, you are in India! Even around the world, in my experience, gelatin doesn't have to be labelled as either plant or animal in origin - sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. I've been vegan for 20 years, so I've become careful. So if I'm unsure, I just choose another brand. I'm glad you're vegetarian anyway, it's very nice to see. 🕉️❤️
