I would check to see if there are liquid versions....I have put crushed meds in applesauce it sort of helped

I have not once crushed my meds and I had no issues. I do take then with juice or applesauce so they go down easier. If they are meds you can crush and want to crush, then put them in applesauce. Thats what my mom used to do for me since I've had hard times swallowing pills.

I never crushed meds either. Only time I've had a problem is when I was way too tight after a fill. You might want to just try swallowing and see how it goes????? I'm no doctor, may want to call the office before you do that.

I never had to crush any of my meds but I can tell u from working in a pharmacy some tablets aren't meant to be crushed :/ most pills that are okay to crush do go well with applesauce and even chocolate syrup. Ask your pharmacist which ones can be crushed and what it can be mixed with so it won't taste so nasty. Some meds aren't good to mix with applesauce or dairy products. But in general ifs mainly trial and error your doctor won't know personally if you can swallow a pill or not that's something you will have to just try on your own. Also from being a pharmacy tech I have learned Doctors honestly don't fully know that much about medications other than their use. So I would recommend if you can't swallow a pill speak to your pharmacist.

If you swallow your pills and they get stuck its very painful and the acid can inflame the esophagus and then you're in trouble! I crush and my taste buds have gotten used to them!
