My child has touble swallowing pills. What are my options?
Usually, because they are the “smooth & slippery” soft gel capsules, there is little problem with swallowing. If there is, the capsule may be pierced and the contents mixed with a variety of foods (peanut butter, honey, jam, chocolate syrup, etc.), for people that have difficulty with swallowing “pills”. It can also be mixed with yogurt or other viscous liquids like shakes or smoothies, but not juice or other thin liquids. I just chew them up and dispose of the shell, but that may be an acquired taste. Hope that solves the problem for you. There are no active ingredients in the shell.
