Can you still swalllow any size pill?

[spoiltmom 44]

I can't. My Prozac capsule is the biggest thing I can handle and it's not all that big. I have a bladder infection though and I have to go to the doc. What antibiotics do they use when you can't swallow stuff? liquid?

I usually take Cipro but I can't see that going down right now:/

Never been a problem for me. My MV and Calcium pills were horsepills. Always went down fine; stopped taking them though.

They make a Z pak type pill that is a powder that you add to Water. It tastes hideous but works great.

GENERIC NAME: AZITHROMYCIN powder PACKETS - ORAL (azz-ith-row-MY-sin)

BRAND NAME(S): Zithromax

I bought a pill cutter and smasher. Some of my meds are quite large and I was told to break the x-large ones up into 4 pcs. They say anything bigger than an m&m needs to be cut. Hope this helps.

Just make sure you read up on your pills and make sure that they are ok to crush or cut. My Blood Pressure (or Choloestrol) pill I crushed it and added it to apple sauce and it left blisters all in my mouth. Was not a good day.

So far, yeah, I haven't had a problem with pills (my glucosamine is pretty big) but you can get almost any med in a liquid version these days, so make sure to ask at the pharmacy about what options you have.

This is so true. Extended release meds cannot be crushed or split they must go down whole.

I can take any pills w/o a problem, although occasionally Advil liquigels stick and melt (they are gross btw)

No, to big and they won't go down.

You shouldn't take any pill that's larger than an aspirin. Cipro and Prozac both come in liquid form.

I haven't had a fill yet, but I can get an 800 mg motrin down. I bought the pill crusher but haven't had to use it.

[Melissannde 41]

As long as I have something warm to drink (coffee, tea, etc.) I can get most pills down.

Early on, Calcium was a problem and I had to go to chewables.< /p>

A pharmacist is your best bet when having issues with forms of medications.
