How do you take non-liquid medications?

I also take Cymbalta in the capsule form and instead of putting the beads into Water and drinking it - I open the capsules in my mouth directly and then take a drink. That way - you get the complete dosage and it actually tastes better than drinking water with the beads in it. Hope this helps!!

My doctor said nothing bigger then an M&M--so far no problems at all.

For those that are opening capsule-you may want to check with the doc that prescribed them. Some capsule are time released and you may be messing with that by opening them.

i spoke with the pharmacist today about taking my effexor capsules. he said that as long as i don't crush or chew the granules, it would be ok to open them up and swallow with some Water.< /p>

I spoke with my surgeon today and he said to use applesauce if it's the "No Added Sugar" type. I tried it this evening and it was wonderful!!!! I got every little bead and pill chunk into me. Great idea, thanks.

I must have misunderstood him when we discussed this issue as I thought it was going to be forever. He said no, just for the two weeks after surgery while things are swollen and in the healing phase.

i'm not sure where you live, but have you tried Whole Foods Market? i know it's a pricy store, but i know they have liquid fish oils. Look at any natural health stores, or else you could order online.
