Crushed meds

[cprince1975 62]

Cannot take my crushed meds. Have spent last 20 minutes vomiting trying to take Zantac. Have tried mixing with Water and with food. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Vomit with Vitamins too.

hi, my surgeon said not to bother crushing mine, even right after surgery. i was very glad because i know i wouldn't have been able to get them down. if you are vomiting you need to call your doctor!! i was told NOT to vomit (don't know how i would have stopped it). i did feel like i was going to when i thought i could eat a little bread, scared the crap out of me. PLEASE call the doc and let them know what's going on. they are there to help!!

My surgeon also advised me not to bother crushing pills. Luckily for me, my meds were pretty small, I was able to swallow them without any issues.

I mixed mine with a spoonful of cream of mushroom Soup. The salty covered the bitter taste of my crushed pill.

I still crush mine and break open the capsule of the one extended release I use. I don't see the surgeon again until late January; I'll ask them then.

My stomach still sore today. Nothing I mix with helps. Gonna just leave off meds til Monday.

I tried crushing my meds, but couldn't stand the taste. I bought a pill cutter and just cut them up into a few pieces. No problems. I don't have to cut up the Nexium, I just take that whole.

I may try cutting them into tiny pieces. Hadn't thought of that!!!!
