Fear of taking tablets

Does anyone else worry about taking capsule tablets. I always worry it will go down wrong way and I will choke to death.

Actually jennylove12, a capsule is so much easier to take and swallow than a pill.

Take a sip of water first, place the capsule long ways on the back of your tongue and take several sips of water. You WILL NOT choke. Because of the smoothness of the outer capsule, it will slide right down each and every time. :) xx

Hi i get scared too. if it is a big pill or capsule-- i chew something very dry first like bread or cracker, after chewing it a lot to the point i have to swallow- i then put the pill in my mouth and almost don't need water bc it goes down with the food that needed to be swallowed already . Blessings
