Sometimes Flecainide seems difficult to swallow, even though I take at least 8 big swallows of water with it, and it will end up stuck somewhere in my throat, dissolving! Yes, then I do more big swallows of water to try and get it down! Thankfully, someone here posted that honey helps! Tonight, the Flecainide got stuck, but I remembered the tip about taking some honey, and like magic, the Flecainide went down and the honey was tasty, too! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi Doggiemomma - Glad it worked for you Doggiemomma - it's awful trying to get dry unbuffered tablets down. Recently I had a problem with Flecainide too and in the thread someone advised me to use yoghurt.
So a great thank you from me too - the yoghurt worked perfectly too - and it's not as messy as slurping honey.
I use carbonated water and it really helps with Flec and an other dry vitamin I take.
I pop three or four sultanas in my mouth, chew lightly, which makes my mouth water a little, add the flecainide pill then swallow the lot all together. I keep a small pot of sultanas next to the pill box. Works well if you’re out somewhere and not near yoghurt, honey or water. I tried this when I ran out of apple sauce, a tip from on here also which was very useful.
Flec not easy...having a dizzy day today.....it will pass......a couple of maltezers helps to swallow .........
Yum!
My Mum had Parkinson's Disease and often found it difficult to take tablets with water. The Parkinson's nurse suggested taking with a spoonful of yogurt - check that all tablets are not affected by dairy as some are but it is a good tip.
I think dairy might not be a good idea with flecainide. Have a look on the patient information sheet
