Unfortunately I have about 12 pills I need to take each morning. With pill crushing your medicines, what is the best way you have found to make the medicine go down ????? Pudding, applesauce, juice? Any tips of disguising the taste of chalky aftertaste would be appreciated!

I had to do the same, but just in case, ask your pharmacist about other forms of the meds. Like liquids or chewables. You may have to have your doctor call in a new prescription for these, though.

What I did for my irbesarten was crush, then put in a spoonful of pudding or cottage cheese (when I was cleared to take cottage cheese), mix it just in the middle of the spoon (so the icky taste is just in the middle), then try and swallow that puppy whole! Occasionally I would get a nasty taste in, but it would work. Then my nurse told me to "chase" it with V8, while rubbing my tongue on the roof of my mouth. That worked, too. I guess the acid in the juice would help get rid of the after taste. Good luck to you!!

Thank you, I'm going to definitely going to check in with my pharmacist and try your trick in the meantime ????

I read on a parenting forum (and am going to try) to make "jello shots" with meds that are crushable. I'll let you know how it turns out...

Early on I started adding a few drops of children's Tylenol on top of the crushed meds and apple sauce. I plan on asking my nurse tomorrow if I can switch to honey. I'll let you know.
