NEW WAY TO SWALLOW PILLS WITHOUT CHOKING
One solution for taking a hard-to-swallow pill is to crush it and mix it with your food. However, there is a catch to this solution. Crushing destroys the coating on a pill, which could be dangerous. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before you crush any pills in order to find out what, if any, risk is involved. You can also get a list of about 200 pills not to crush by sending a stamped.
Instead of crushing a hard-to-swallow pill, you can also ask your doctor or pharmacist if the medication is available in liquid form, in a capsule, or perhaps in a smaller pill. You can also try a new “swallowing” technique. If you are unsuccessful bending your head back as you attempt to swallow the pill, try tilting forward, or try bending your head back if you’ve tried tilting forward without success.
