doingit4me 9 Posted July 21, 2013 Get a pill crusher at the drug store. I had to mix pills in yogurt or something else for 8 weeks post op. they taste nasty, but doc insisted, and better than getting pills stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if all pills can be smashed...i know a certain bp pill i take has to be whole because its extended relief pill...but ill check with my surgeon. Thanks for the tip.
