Tablets

[Budgie1954]

Why is it you can put a forkful of food down your throat no problem, but gag on the smallest tablet possible 😫

[Magpuss]

It's a mystery!

[Kitten-kat23]

Amazing isn't it. I hope you are o.k., and didn't choke.

[Budgie1954 in reply to Kitten-kat23]

They just dont taste nice when they get stuck

[Budgie1954 in reply to Hidden]

Its not funny, they dont taste nice

[Hidden in reply to Budgie1954]

Behave yaself not laughing I was smiling to cheer you up but never mind now

[Budgie1954 in reply to Hidden]

Wasn't being serious. Could never be that with you 😍

[Hidden in reply to Budgie1954]

Oh your such a master of cunning I was shaking in my boots for fear I had upset you 🙁🙁

[Nottobad]

My husband used to be like that. Hope you are okay. I have no problem taking tablets. I take 11 tablets in the morning in one go. Xx

[Budgie1954 in reply to Nottobad]

Just have to take a five day supply of steriods, but they are so small and keeps getting stuck even wirh water

[Nottobad in reply to Budgie1954]

Yes I hate the taste that steroids leave. Maybe try putting one in a piece of bread or something else and see if that helps xx

[2greys in reply to Nottobad]

Yay, Prednisolone sandwiches. Do you put ketchup on them too

[O2Trees in reply to 2greys]

Can't beat 'em with or without the ketchup.

[Carnival567 in reply to Nottobad]

Me too, fortunately never had a problem

I take steroids 2/3 at a time and put then in the back of my tongue. Then I take a big swallow of water and they always just float off and down. It's the uncoated ones I struggle with as they tend to stick.

Hi Budgie,

Like Nottobad, I take about 11 tablets all in one go, that's without the steroids & AB's. Sometimes I find taking them with milk is better than with just water, whether its the fats in the milk that helps them go down easier I don't know. I find having a slice of bread after does help too, especially the dry white tablets (paracetamol is worst for me).

[O2Trees]

Me too, I can take up to a dozen in one go, usually before my breakfast porridge.

I can so identify with this! Lol! xxMoy

Hi there Budgie1954 but I have no answer to your question- although I totally agree,the little tablets are always worse for me,which also makes no sense!!

[Budgie1954 in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

It does sound like good advice to drink milk when your taking them

[Ray47]

I also had this problem but I find that taking them with a small pot of drinking yoghurt such as actimel works a treat.
