How do you take a pill?

[konakid7]

I couldn't swallow pills for the first 15 years of my life or so, it freaked me out and I would always choke and gag. What helped me is taking it with a big gulp of water, letting your throat relax, tilting your head back, and not rushing it.

Take 1 banana, cup of raspberries, cup of straberries, 4oz yogurt, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 pill, and mix together in blender. Drink beverage. Pill consumed. Problem solved.

I always tilt my head up to swallow a pill.

bit of water, put pill in mouth, drink more water

I have never been able to swallow a pill. I guide the pill over the lump in my tongue with my finger so it is sitting at the back of my throat. Then drink and swallow.

I am assuming your balls haven't dropped so I would defer to your mother for help.

 

[Sea Moose]

put it in your ear

 

[dawp]

try from the other end, ya know, like a suppository.

Wow. All these people suggesting methods that involved opening or pulverizing the pill forgot to add the disclaimer that you shouldn't do that with sealed pills. Either that or they were too stupid to realize that they may be rendering medication completely ineffective. Ever think it might be in that gel cap so that it will make it to your stomach without reacting to air, water, or whatever the help is in your smoothie?

very rarely can i do it without water or some other liquid, like soda or milk.
Even then sometimes I have trouble swallowing the pill, especially if it's a large pill.

It never ceases to amaze me the questions that get asked on this forum.

Break it in half..
I do that with the pills I take. I've been doing it for years. I have a hard time swallowing if the pill isn't more manageable...

you need to put more stuff down your throat on a consistent basis so you get used to the sensation

Are you four years old or something? Ask your parents to put it in some icecream for you.

If you can't swallow, put it in your butt.

 

[KeithTalent]

Grind it up and snort it.

Just pretend its a glob of Taylor Swifts coagulated love juices and if you swallow it she will love you for ever
