I either hide it in a tablespoon of applesauce, or yogurt. :rolleyes:

what works for me...
 

Capsules and pills that floatdidn't get a mention. For those you tip your head forward so they float up to the back of your mouth.

make mouth narrow with water and pill inside take deep breath seems to work

Just take a bolus of any food into your mouth and, after chewing it thoroughly, put the pills in your mouth and just swallow normally. Your throat doesn't know what's coming, just that you're swallowing normally as always. I can take all seven of my morning pills at one time; however, I leave the huge fish oil gel out and swallow that one with the next bite.

I hate swallowing pills, especially large solid vitamins without the plastic coating. After seeing this thread I was inspired to try something out. I took a tsp of olive oil, and coated the pill in it, and then swallowed the olive oil, then drank the pill down with some water, it seems to have went down nice and smooth. I will definatly try out the jello method next time to compare :)

Works for me
 

I have Sjogren's Syndrome which translates into dry mouth, dry tongue, and dry throat. I ALWAYS take a drink of water, juice or something that I have plenty of....FIRST......, then take the pills with water. I also break the 12 pills/vitamins up into more than one mouth full. Am I full of water when I get thru? Yes, but the pills all go down and without sticking.:p

How to take big pills
 

Their is such a simple solution to this problem, just go to your local pharmacy and buy an inexpensive pill spitter! Its so easy to make your pills to the size that you can swallow them.:)

Good solution for many things. :) Just make sure you don't split a pill that is not supposed to be split.
