Why don't you call the pharmacy and see if they have it in smaller dosed pills or in liquid form? In the meantime, never open up a capsule and eat the stuff inside. It is in the capsule for a reason, so it can be broken down in the right part of the body and absorbed properly. If it gets into the bloodstream too quickly, depending on the medication, it could be dangerous. It is also a good rule of thumb not to break or crush pills unless they are scored.

Good luck - I couldn't swallow pills until I was 17 and I still struggle with it sometimes!

lots and lots and lots of water.... try icecream or apple sauce too.... something thicker that you wouldnt chew.

btw i dont think its safe to injest just the powder... talk to your doctor abou that.

put it on ur tounge and take a gulp of water and drinkit like it was the water dont stress out but relax if u close up ur throat it makes it worse good luckk

just act like you are eating and swallowing when you take the pill (dont really chew the pill though)

for some reason your question is turning me on

Put it as far to your throat as possible. Try tilting your head back while you do it. You can also try taking the liquid into your mouth first and squeezing the pill through your lips after. Then swallow it all together.

fill your mouth with water or watever then squeeze the tablet between your lips den with a glass with "water" raised to your lips drink as normal.. with all the liquid you shouldnt feel the tablet at al..

same thing that happens to me but what i do is break it up in like many pieces so they are smaller, but the pills that have stuff in the inside of them are no good, idk what to do if they have the stuff in there.!!!!

take an eminem or jellybean and put it in applesauce and practice swallowing it.

You could try opening the capsule and put it in applesauce or pudding, then drink alot. Have you tried taking it with soda? The carbination will help go down easier. I remember my mom putting it on a tablespoon with a little water and sugar trying to break it down with the other spoon. You could also try that. It use to work for my little brothers and sisters. Good luck.
