Default Rosin (colophony) Allergy

In the event a client informs you they have an allergy to Rosin (a common constituent of many medical products) and ask for preparations that do not contain colophony or related substances. How would you proceed?

Thank you Mr Slayer Sir,

Everything from strapping to paper could potentially present a problem!

Perhaps advice over the phone would be safest.
