Any good tips on taking pills?

If you are taking a capsule, put it in your mouth, fill your mouth with water, tilt your head forward...the capsule will float to the back of your throat. Swallow.

If you are taking a pill, put it as far back in your mouth as you can without gagging. Take a big sip of water, tilt your head back...the pill will slide to the back of your throat. Swallow.

I used to have the same problem. If you really think about it, when you eat meals, the amounts of chewed food that you swallow are way bigger than the tiny little pills/capsules that you are trying to swallow.

The key is to relax. Good Luck

I have a very difficult time taking pills even when not sick. Sometimes you can cut the pill into smaller pieces. Also, you may want to try crushing the pill between two spoons to form a powder, then mixing with a small amount of pudding, yogurt, slushie, etc. Hope this helps!

Ask your Family Doctor if you can just let them melt in your mouth and if so grin and bare it. Hope the cold leaves real soon.

plug your nose and then take them, sometimes this helps with the taste. I still have a hard time with pills at 26. They are gross!

put the water/juice in your mouth first

tilt your head back, open your mouth

drop the pills in

swallow juice & pills all at once.

they make liquid cold medicines.

Try taking only one at a time. with water not carbonated beverages. Dont look up when swallowing, they will probably float making them harder to go down. If they are in tablet form you can usually break them in half, if smaller is better for you. pop them in your mouth and just keep drinking water until they go down. try not to take a small sip and concentrate on swallowing them..thinking about it for some reason makes it harder. just chug em' down. =)

dont take to many

you might find yourself taking so many and over doseing yourslef
