How Do You Swallow A Big Pill?
• Drink half of a glass of water, put the pill in the back of your throat and drink the other half. If the pill does not go down try the next method. • Tuck the pill into something soft and sweet such as cake or a brownie. Put the pill in the middle of it, and scarf it down trying not to chew too much. (Do not use a huge piece of cake or a big brownie, too many calories). • Crush the pill. This works if the pills is dry (not liquid filled) you can crush it and sprinkle into a glass of orange juice to disguise the taste. If there is any leftover powder at the bottom of the glass pour some more, mix, and drink again. Continue until all the powder is gone. Note not all pills can be crushed and poured into liquids. Check with your medical provider before attempting this method. • Roll the pill in butter or margarine first. This will help the pill to slide down your throat more easily. • Just relax your muscles and once you’ve hit that spot, keep right on pushing, then give it all you’ve go
