Do they make liquid tylenol?!


Question:

Do they make liquid tylenol?

My girlfriend has a really hard time with swallowing pills. She will literally choke on 5 or 6 of them before giving up and just dealing with the pain for hours. She tried putting them right on the back of her tongue, but she can't make herself drink. She tried popping it in her mouth right after she drank/ate something, and nothing. She has tried crushing them and putting them in a drink, in sugar, applesauce, yogurt, jello, pudding, you name it. She tried the Tylenol GoTabs, the chewable kind, but the taste makes her throw up as does the liquid Tylenol. She tried that cup thing that holds the pill too, but no go. So what options does she have left? Do they make adult chewable tablets that taste like the children's or anything like that?

It's for headaches...she is getting about 6 of them a day now, so she is desperate.


Answers:

If your friend is taking that much Tylenol for a headache, she probably needs to talk to the doc about it.

1) Long term Tylenol use is not usually recommended
2) There is a rebound effect when taking meds like that for headaches, where the med actually begins to cause the headache.

3) A lasting headache also needs to be checked out, if it hasn't been already.
