Ok I had my surgery on 6/25/13 and my doctor tells me I have to have my medications, like blood pressure, thyroid, Lipitor , all crushed taken with whatever. IT IS HORRIBLE! I can barely tolerate the taste. In hospital they gave some through my IV .Those of you out there who take meds, how are you taking them?. Help

I just take them one at a time with a small drink of Water. They are small, no crushing needed.

I took all of mine whole with a very small sip of Water, one at a time at the hospital and when I got home. Only thing I waited two weeks to start again was the Calcium.

I crush mine per my instructions. I put the in the chocolate Protein Shake. It seems to mask the taste the best. I tried swallowing one small pill whole and it hurt so I will crush mine until I see the doc for my two week.
