I would love to get any suggestions on how one should take these meds before one could be on mushies? I am hurting from a strained Soup, I can't immagine how i can get applesauce or pudding down.

3loves 0 Posted July 19, 2006 I have not had this symptom and can't offer any help other than suggesting you call your doc ASAP. Maybe by bumping this thread, some others will reply with more experience. Good luck and I hope you are able to get this resolved quickly!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted July 19, 2006 I took mine with a Protein Shake. I had to split one of them. I wait a min then do another. Make sure you check with the pharmacist or doctor if you can split a pill. Due to chemistry some do not allow you to split them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tztmama 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Check with pharmacist to make sure you can split the pills. I get a pill splitter and chop them quite fine. If I am having trouble swallowing, i have a pill crusher that i use and then just mix them with my Protein Shake or yogurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
