[Bamalama 0]

:help: I take 6 pills ever morning and I am having problems fetting them down. The smaller ones are ok I just drink plenty of fluids behind them. However, they seem to come back in my throat, the teaste is horrible!:eek:

The worst ones are tricor and gloucouphage. how in the world do you get them down. I have tried crushing them but the teaste makes me want to puck:omg: All suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Beverly

I am not banded yet but the doctor during seminar suggested crushing into applesauce. I guess it is worth a try!

Hi:

I take a few pills every day. I too can not crush them due to the horrible taste.

I cut my pills up with a huge knife . I quarter them, this allows them to go down pretty good.

I have tried to crush them into applesauce, but the taste is still horrible.

If you can have pudding, try crushing them into that. Or, if you're OK on shakes, try blending them up in that.

Ask your pharmacist to put them in liquid form for you. Almost any drug can be compounded into a liquid as long as it's not an extended release kinda thing.

I can't get mine down either. They either come right up or get stuck.
