Previcid long capsule

Plaquenel is a rectangular pill

Zocor is big round pill

Hct Blood pressure very small round

Lexapro small white round pill

Iron big green round pill.

How will I take these pills after surgery? They told me that they could not be any bigger than an M&M. I was so involved with everything else around me I forgot to ask them how was I going to take my medicines.

I also should be taking a Vitamin D Calcium and One A Day. How do you take big pills like that?

Thanks for listening.

I checked with my prescribing doctor and got different prescriptions and my surgeon told us to take chewable vitamins and Calcium.< /p>

I was told to get a pill crusher.

I was told to get a pill crusher.

Not all pills are safely crushable; that's why I suggested starting w/her prescribing doctor.

For my meds a pill crusher is fine and for my capsuled meds the pharmacist said I could open them and pour them into foods.

Froggi It's good that you checked with the pharmacist but it's best if each person checks for his or her own meds. Some may need to be changed, some discontinued, some a different amount, etc. So start with the prescribing doc and take it from there. It's possible that she'll eventually be able to discontinue some of those, anyway.

For me, my doc needed and wanted to change a couple of them.
