on my pills. I vomited after taking my pills this afternoon. Gross, sorry. I’ve tried taking them with milk, yogurt, applesauce, chocolate milk. The chocolate milk worked for a couple of weeks. It doesn’t matter if I even take them one at a time. None of my meds are available in liquid form either. Anymore suggestions on how to take meds without gagging ?

Crush them and take them with then with applesauce or yogurt … There's nothing to choke on once they're crushed... If you need to have a drink to wash it down afterwards..... xo

I agree with Suncloudjd. Crush them and put them in an apple sauce but before you do that, make sure you are allowed to crush them. Some medicines are not allowed to be crushed or open capsule. Check on the bottle to see if it says don't break or crush. Ask the pharmacist at your pharmacy, if it says nothing on the bottle. I take a medicine that cannot be crushed and shouldn't be crushed. what I did was ask my doctor if there was another type of medicine that I could take that would be smaller and easier to swallow but did the same thing to help me with my condition. they ended up giving me a pill form instead of a capsule for one of them and on another pill they changed my pill to a liquid. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

So I crushed up three of my five pills and mixed then with chocolate milk. They went down well

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
