antibiotics

[viking_girl 0]

I have been banded since October and just got a nice case of bronchitis. My doc prescribed an antibiotic that comes in a sorta large capsule.

I am really worried about it getting stuck.... any ideas on how to help it go down well??? I am going to take it with a hot drink tonight and see how that goes. That is.... if I can get some nourishment down first.

Did you ask the dr if it came in a liquid? So many of them do.

Well hello there...I had a similar problem at easter...my pharmacist told me it was fine to break them open and mix them in with a little yogurt or something similar.

The first ones I took didn't stick because my throat was so swollen they would only go down one way(big ouch!!) As the swelling subsided that is when the 'fun' started and I had a word with my pharmacist.

They taste really disgusting...very bitter and you realise why they wrap them in a capsule in the first place.

Sadly not everything in life can taste like cadbury's chocolate.

Pharmacists tend to be more up on what you can do with your meds anyway, drugs and their interactions, effects etc are their speciality.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
