btw, some tablets can't be swallowed with certain drinks so be careful
I read where this old bloke took multiple gel-covered pills with a cuppa tea and they melted together in his gullet... eek! :eek:

i'd say crushing them
only problem with crushing them is that they generally taste like crap :p

i've never had problems swallowing tablets until i got braces and the tablets would get stuck in the metal and practically melt there while i tried to find it..but i'll still rather that than having my tablets crushed or chewed ewwwwwwwww~!!!!

I used to never be able to have them but now I can. Its purely a pyscological thing.

You chew and swallow food bigger then those pills, my mum would tell me this every time I tried, but honestly the pressure made it worse for me. I knew I should be able to but I just couldnt and one day I just did. I have to swing my head back to swallow them, but I dont care, at leats now I dont have to have it crushed with honey (eww) etc.
