No I think I have gag reflex or something because every time I take it I feel it's stuck in my throat or something like thatWhy? Can't take tablets on their own?
So sir whats ur opinion any harm??? Or no??Personally, I wouldn't do it but I do get what you're saying. Had the same thing as a child
Yeah pharmaacist here just have the training about medical salt names and use if medicine not expertsPerhaps ask your pharmacist or GP ? I think it would depend on the tablet.
Hello can anyone please guide if it's OK to crush metformin and multivitamins pills and put it in water or food and then take it
7. You can crush standard metformin tablets using a pill crusher. You can get a pill crusher from most chemists.
You can add crushed medicine to your food.
You CANNOT crush modified release metformin.
Thank you sirIt says here at the link below.
It also says, do not crush the slow release variety of Metformin.

You're welcome mate, I hope it solves your dilemma.Thank you sir
It doesYou're welcome mate, I hope it solves your dilemma.
I understand but I feel I am choking everytime I take the pillIt's a bad practice crushing tablets. Some have enteric coatings to stop damage to the first part of your digestive system as well as delayed release tablets.
Why can't you put them at the back of your tongue and than swallow a glass of water?

Plz see my reply earlier to why I can't take itI'ts not a good idea to modify medication formats - they have been 'engineered' in terms of what is called "bio-availabity".
Like a guitar chord they have known profile:
Attack,
Decay ,
Sustain,
Release
This to have known values available to the site of action over a known period.
Just out of interest, how do you manage with those medications that come in those plastic capsules?
Thank you sir I will tryHi, I used to be the same but am now ok. Can you practise using tic tac sweets or something similar? Most doctors would say it is all in the mind unless you are struggling to swallow everyday food. Just use a small amount of water and drink normally and not a huge gulp.
Plz see my reply earlier to why I can't take it
