try putting some water in your mouth, then the pills, then more water and swallow!.

i have the same problem the easiest way i found to swallow a pill is if you put it in your mouth and drink through a straw, you have no choice but to swallow it! works for me and my dad, who can't swallow his pills either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be sure to get enough liquid when you're going to wash it down and I find it harder to swallow pills with water so I suggest you use some drink besides water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

put them in your mouth and swallow a lot of water at the same time!. i know its tricky because the pill is so big!. i used to take centrum and it was rough!. but i drank about half of an 8 ounce glass of water!. so yeah!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just put it on your tongue and swallow a huge glass of water!.
I take over 15 pills a day in medication and vitamins lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Put it on the back of your tongue and focus on drinking a glass of water rather than the pill going down your throat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I understand! If you are desperate to take them, grind them up and put them in your food!. If you want advice on how to learn to swallow pills, start with half or a small one!. Stick it on the back of your tongue, and take a HUGE gulp of something to drink!. You will be pro after no time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

put some water in your mouth, put the pill in your mouth so it floats, and swallow or tilt your head back and let it flow down your throat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first, know that worrying about it marks it significantly worse!. surely you swallow mouth fulls bigger than those pills!. clearly, the problem isn't physiological!. that knowledge may or may not help!. try taking the pill in your mouth with a mouthful of water & not worry about getting it in the back of your throat!. just hold it on your tongue and take a swallow!. or place it on some pudding or ice cream & swallow that!. good luck!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try taking a mouth full of food!. Like a banana or bread!. Chew it up, and right before you swalow, pop the pill in the food and down it goes!. If you are just learning to swallow pills, hang in there!. The more you try, the easier it gets!. You can also grind in and mix with sugar!. My mom did that for me as a kid :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi NTB,
I feel you!. What I do is hold a little water in my
mouth and then I toss in the pill head tilted back!. Immediately followed by the remainer of the water!.
Drink atleast 8oz of water when you take any pills!.
I hope that you are cured of the reason you have to take the pills!. Be a big boy bottoms up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Trust me, it gets easier the more you do it!.

Just try not to think about it!.

Put it in and drink whatever you drink to get it down!. And just swallow!. Just real quick!.

Never lift your head up thinking that will help get it down!. It doesn't because the pill will just start to float up!.

There really isn't a trick!. You just do it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
