Apple sauce.. Sugar free pudding.. Some meds come in liquid form.. Talk to ur doctor to check

Make sure that all your meds are safe to be crushed. There are extended release meds and pain meds that should NEVER be crushed!!!!

My DR check before surgery. The time release they changed but, its so yucky taking them crushed. I wonder if cutting them in half will work

My clinic told me that I should be able to swallow pills as soon as I am able to eat solid food (after the swelling from surgery has gone down), I have been crushing my meds and putting them in a syringe filled with white grape juice as it is fairly strong tasting and just squirt it in my mouth followed by a chaser of more white grape juice (sips), I have found this has worked best. I also went to the pharmacy and got chew-able forms of gravol, gas-x and even children's chew-able advil, you have to chew three to five pills, but it sure tastes better then crushing the adult doses. Hope this helps!

I did the same thing, sorta. I used to crush my pills, mix it in a spoon of yogurt, down it and real quick, have a few more spoons of yogurt. The idea-to get that spoonful down ASAP and do a yogurt chaser ASAP.

Good luck, it won't be forever!

Didn't crush any of my pills and I was fine. Took them with juice or applesauce so they went down easier.
