Can't swallow pill?

I've had a hard time swallowing pills ever since I almost choked to death once. I was prescribed amoxicillin and was not expecting them to be as big as they were. I've been crushing them and taking them with water because I can't swallow them.  Can I call up the urgent care I went to to get a chewable/liquid form. I don't know if they'll be allowed to prescribe me something again since I already picked up my original subscription. I was prescribed amoxicillin-CLAV 875-125MG tablets.

    You could talk to the pharmacist, there might be a different form of the drug that is easier for you to take.  A smaller pill, a chewable, or liquid.  Just ask.

    It is available in liquid form known as augmentin suspension. There shouldn't be a problem with urgent care writing you a second prescription.
