To crush or not to crush...

I have to take 3 meds besides vitamins and supplements. Did you have to take extra meds also? If so, did your doc let you swallow them or did you have to crush them?

If you had to crush them, what did you mix it with, and how long did you have to crush them?

Thanks for the feedback :)

Hey stink, my aunt had to crush hers and she'd mix it with applesauce w/ a bit of sugar to help cover the taste of the pills.

had no problem not crushing my meds, they went down ok and they were big, just drink lots fluids after taking them. just make sure your not crushing any time released meds, it can be dangerous. time release meds are just that, they release slowly, crushing them will give it all at once and can be a shock to your system.

I never had any problem taking most pills early on - they provided pain and nausea pills after the IV was removed in the hospital. I just took them one at a time with a sip of water each rather than the usual handful that I used to take. The only exception was the calcium supplement which I took as chewables for a while.
