Just got home and need advice on how to

[Wires 25]

get meds down

I opened my antacid capsules and put it in my pudding and it tasted very gross!! How am I going to do that for a month?

Also I didn't take my allergy meds because when I drank it (crushed) with Water it made me want to vomit.

Help!

I didn't have any trouble swallowing my pills while after surgery. Maybe start with the smallest one & see how that goes.

I took my pills whole with no issues. Just go slow and dont take them after you eat

The biggest thing is don't take them after you have eaten or if you have wait the standard 45 min before drinking anything. I take mine first thing in the morning so I can do one at a time and drink it down with a small gulp. Good luck! it does get a lot better I promise you!

Mixing the beads in the antacid capsule on a teaspoon of applesauce, cottage cheese or yogurt, there is no taste if you swallow them quickly. We have taken many meds since being sleeved, just taking it slow. I would guess I take 10 pills a day, my husband also. I did go to a liquid Vitamin a few months but have been back on the big multi Vitamin A few months.

I have a prescription that I take in capsule form. My doctor recommended I open the capsule & sprinkle it on applesauce. Immediately post surgery, I tried it on Jell-o, but it was difficult to do and hard to avoid the tiny pills getting everywhere in my mouth. I'm 7 weeks post-op now & I used the applesauce until this week, when I was able to swallow the capsule again. Applesauce was so much easier!!

I found Omeprazole pellets went down okay in applesauce. Some of the ones that had to be crushed, not so much. For the ones that tasted really bad, I learned to cut them in small pieces if they were big and swallow the pieces one at a time on an emptyish stomach if possible, (more room in there).

I would recommend friend that you make sure you have eaten food prior to the meds. Most meds have this warning. As one who ended up in the hospital from meds on an empty stomach, I would rather you be cautious and not go there. There is plenty of room for a pill and food. Be safe and be cautious!

Not sure about Omprezole but I took Zyrtec with no problems. Just didn't try it on a full stomach or with a big gulp.

Thank you! Should the applesauce be no sugar added kind?

The first 7 days are tough to get adjusted to tastes and nausea. Take one at a time. Unsweetened applesauce worked for me. Use meltaways or gummies whenever possible. Maybe hide it in your Protein shake??
