Question

[carlton23]

Why don`t Drug Company`s make tablets that at least don`t dissolve so quickly in your mouth and taste so bloody awful when they do? I`v been taking them for many many years and I still get them stuck in my throat and mouth? yuuuk, and I take 22-28 a day depending on my discomfort and other things.

They used to make them vile tatsing so that if a child accidently took one it would spit it out immediately

i was just looking for you carlton. how are you today ? do you half them ? or try having a drink before taking them so your mouth isnt dry.

Know what you mean carlton!.......I don't have to take that many thankfully, but yes, they are yucky!................but if they help us, then we have it to do!........

Me too carlton, but you have to persist don't you, because the damn things keep you alive.

But just think, Carlton23:
Without all of those foul-tasting tablets you wouldn't have all of the excuses for eating/drinking something nice afterwards (such as a a lovely syrup pudding with custard, or a glass or two of vino) 'just to take the taste away' ;-)

[carlton23]

Anne, no, I shoot down five at a time, but it`s the warfarin that get stuck every time.

[carlton23]

Buenchico, I am diebetic, so no goodies for me I`m afraid.

I can't take round tablets they just won't go down, I have to drink water first then take the tablets with a lot of water.

I used to be the world's worst pill taker then read somewhere that if you put your head forward when swallowing it eased them on their way. It works for me so maybe worth a try.
Be well. :)

My friend had the same problem so she bought a pill-crusher - I dont know where she bought it though.
