Trouble swallowing

[MonicaR 8]

After a couple of days I am having a hard time swallowing my bp meds, it feels like it gets stuck. Is this normal? What should I do?

See if they can be cut in half or crushed

Thanks! I didn't think to ask, they are so big. I will be calling in the morning. I thought something was wrong.

Don't know what you are taking but I had to crush my Bp pills per doctors orders.

Yes a cutter and a pill crusher.. swallowing that pill is dangerous. Might get lodged!!!

I'm not sure it's dangerous. I've been taking full pills since day 1. It's really uncomfortable if they get stuck and you will slime something fierce but it will eventually dissolve. My hubby bought me a pill cutter at Rite Aid and its been great. Nothing stuck since then.

There are liquid options and chewable to all pills

I was instructed to take liquid for first 3 weeks and then chewable for next 4 month

But if u can't find I recomend crush them for first month and dissolve in Water

Yes bariatricadvantage.com I believe is the website. You can find chewables liquid and sublinguals.
