Umm I have to look at what I take. I take one in the morning and one at night. I open the capsules and drop the little balls right in my mouth with some Water. They don't taste bad. I will look when I get home.

I haven't seen the capsules OTC.

I have never seen the capsules either. But the tablets aren't that big and I have no problem swallowing them.

I have some of the tablets and was concerned about swallowing the pills immediately post op. So I had the Dr write me a prescription for prilosec liquid. OMG! I have never tasted anything so horrible!!!! I think I will try adding SF Syrup to it!!! lol So far acid reflux hasn't been a problem post op but I would love to find a solution to that horrible tasting liquid prilosec!!

I can just imagine how bad it tastes. When I had my band, I started taking adult liquid tylenol because it went down easier for me. I discovered it works so much faster than the pills, so both my husband and I use it now, but it is hard getting past the taste of it.

Before surgery I bought some different baking extracts, like banana, mint, cherry, coconut, to add to things that I don't like. the banana flavor made the Jay Robb chocolate shakes taste really good when I was testing them before surgery. It remains to be seen if I still will like them once I start full liquids in 8 more days. 8 more days of clears. Small price to pay for all the pounds that I see melting off me.

It's prescription. I swallow them easily with a swig of Water in the morning. I have learned that if I exhale real big before I take the drink of water the pill goes down a lot easier. It maybe psychological, but I exhale fill up the back of my throat with water, drop the pill in, and swallow. I walk around the island in my kitchen then take another swig of water. Ha ha ha now y'all know my morning ritual. I haven't had to open the capsules at all, and don't think I could handle swallowing the Prilosec laced applesauce.

No Tiff, I don't think it's psychological at all -- when I remember to exhale first, it does go down easier - I just don't think about it until after the fact -- I'll try filling the back of my throat with water first and see if that helps. I, too, can't imagine swalowing Prilosec laced applesauce.

I couldn't find adult liquid tylenol, so ended up buying children's tylenol - cherry flavor - talk about so sickening sweet that I gagged everytime I took it ... and because it was childrens had to take a larger dose -- glad I only did that a few days before I figured out my TMJ was the cause of my headaches and went to see my chiro who put it back in place!
