crushed meds

I have to take a lot of meds. Today I crushed one of them and tried to eat it in applesauce-yuck. Any suggestions?

Some meds will dissolve in a drink. There may also be a chewable or injectable option you can use until you're cleared to swallow pills. I'd call your local pharmacy and ask about each of your meds. Some meds shouldn't be crushed or dissolved (usually, the slow-release capsules), so it's best to run it by your pharmacist to make sure you are not ruining your medications.

I know this is a late post but I found yoplait light lemon meringue yogurt covers up the taste of a lot of meds.

Some medicines should not be crushed-check with your pharmacist. I take 8 meds/vitamins every morning and 6 every evening. I have never crushed them including right after surgery. I space them out and give them a chance to disolve before eating. They do fill me up for awhile.
