How to take Omeprazole capsules post op while on liquids

[trekker954 421]

Right now I'm opening the capsule and shaking some in my mouth followed by sips of Water. I hate that. What are others doing? I know in a couple of weeks, I can sprinkle them in applesauce or something else pureed.< /p>

So I assume there is nothing liquid or chewable?

I open the capsule and poured the beads into a small cup, then chased them with Water.

Once my Dr. approved, I started swallowing the whole capsules but it was 6-9 month out.

I was allowed to just swallow them with Water. they are not very big.

I swallowed whole pills beginning the day after surgery, per my doctor. No issues.

Teaspoon of applesauce per surgeon.

I was allowed to take them whole along with docusate. I usually take those together about 30 minutes before I begin eating/drinking Protein. I just had surgery on the 1st.

My doctor said take capsule with Water which i have been doing . No problem.

I never got to talk to the doctor. Only the pharmacy student who brought them up to me. Maybe I will try, I'm nervous though. Never good with pills even on a good day

I was told to just take the whole capsule. It kind of freaked out out at first but wasn't difficult and got easier.

Per my dietician it is ok to sprinkle it in a baby spoon of sugar free cool whip. It works great!

I was taking the meds in a small bite of applesauce the day of surgery in the hospital. Just be sure to use the unsweetened kind.

As a pharmacist, I would recommend opening the capsule and mixing with about a teaspoon of diluted, unsweet applesauce (may skip diluting if you are at phase where you can do undiluted applesauce or if your doc allows this)

The day I got home I was taking them by mouth with Water. Was told not to split this one.

I think we covered every way to take the pill. How amazing that so many doctors are different. Even such a simple thing as a pill. Leaves us to figure out what is easiest for us, right?

My doctor switched me to Protonix.
