How do youmake it easier to swallow pills?
I got these pills from my doctor and I told him I can't swallow them no matter how I try. I've tried with water and putting them with my food. I'm not sure if I can take the powder out of the pill and just have that with water. I just need some help.
Answers:
It really depends on the medication. Some capsules are NOT meant to be opened, because they might be a delayed-release form, or are meant to be dissolved in the intestine rather than the stomach. If you aren't sure, you should ask a pharmacist whether it is OK to open those particular capsules and sprinkle them into water or food (such as applesauce). It is NOT a good idea to try it without knowing for sure. You might get too much medicine into your system all at once, or it might not work at all.
