Answer 1

Crush them into something else. But don't snort them.  

Answer 2

my younger sister had the same problem. Crush it in a spoon. put it into your mouth and quickly drink something after it.

Answer 3

Use water to help swallow 'em. Don't think about the pills as u swallow 'em 'cause it might make u hesitate and choke.

Answer 4

If you just can't swallow them because they are too big, you could always cut them into smaller peices. But, if you can't swallow pills at all, there are many other things to put them into I imagine. Try pudding, a small drink that your going to drink all of it (if it works), or anything in that area. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

crush it and mix with a spoon of yogurt or icecream i work at a nursing home and we do this all the time

Answer 6

I used to have the same problem until my mom, who's a nurse, told me to try taking them with milk... it coats your throat, or something like that, which makes them go down easier.

Hope that helps!

Answer 7

You can buy a pill crusher from the pharmacy. In the meantime, take 2 spoons and place the pill in one, you can crush it with the tip of the other spoon. Place the crushed pill on your tongue and take a moderate sip of water to take it down... it may take a couple of sips.

Answer 8

You can really try anything, I would suggest oatmeal or something of that consistency. Good luck and feel better!

Answer 9

First, check with your Dr. or pharmicist to make sure you can crush and or open the pills.  Some are time released and can do harm if crushed and taken that way!!  IF you can crush them, you can add them to a spoonfull of sugar (a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down!)  Or peanut butter.  You can also do like a goody powder and place them on your tounge then take a drink.  I am unsure of the medicine you are asking about, but my daughter has some pills she has to take daily and  can't swallow them.. be creative!  Place the sprinkles on a piece of pie or cake!  I have done MANY things to get her pills down her and she dosen't complain!  She likes the variety and she likes getting a piece of cake in the mornings!  Good luck!  

Answer 10

OPEN THEM UP AND PUT THEM IN A DRINK  MILK OR SOMETHING.
