Answer 1

Is there a liquid version of the meds you're taking? If so, ask for that version.

Is it available in a patch form?

Answer 2

I've done it before, you just have to gulp it down quickly, applesauce is good because you don't have to spend time chewing it.

Answer 3

If you are not a diabetic and you cannot stand applesauce the best next solution is 1 tsp of ice cream--just put 1 tsp of ice cream in a small bowl or cup and then open capsule over it and mix well, then put all of the mixture back on the spoon and swallow it. I am a nurse and I have administered medications to patients for years and this is always the best way to go if their diet allows them to have ice cream.  

Answer 4

ok well this may help with the pill swolling part you say you cant but all you have to do is put it on the middle of your tongue fill your mouth with water i mean FULL then swallow the water the pill will go with it just try to forget the pill is there if theres powder in it maybe you can but some disani water and put a little in a cup and pour the powder in the flavored water rasberrys the strongest of in any drink that has alot of flavor like coffee.if  its solid you can split it in small portions and take each small cut with water Hope i helped
