I bought a ton of Nexium Mups when I was in Sexy Mexi. For some reason I thought they would be a powder, but these are tablets. Is everyone crushing the tablets and mixing in something?

I never crushed mine - they dissolve in water easily. I used a shot glass and filled it with water & dropped a Nexium in. It dissolved in about a minute and I stirred it up and threw it back. It's foul, but very effective!

HA HA! I'm a dork!

When I crushed them, I noticed that there were these little round balls inside. I kept thinking...well that's dumb if I have to crush it then why did they put these little balls in here?

Well now I know I don't have to crush them! I'll just blame that on anesthesia.

I couldn't gag them down disolved in water- I would crush mine and mix them with a spoon full of broth. After a month I just couldn't do it anymore. Wrote Dr. Aceves and he said i could change to Prisolec which I can swallow whole thank god. Cathi

I am breaking them in half and swallowing them with water. They are flipping HUGE! Glad to know I can switch to Prilosec!!

I also was putting them in a shot glass or small medicine cup with water. They dissolve in a minute or 2. Now I am almost 3 months out so I started swallowing them whole and have not had any trouble with them.
