This has happened to me twice over the years. Fury - was I going to suffer a side effect but rang the pharmacy, and while the original purpose wasn't achieved, no harm was done. xx
Oh bless! You also know you've lost your muscles when you struggle to get a tablet out of it's foil container LOL

My 'Pill-Mate' container drives me up the wall fighting to get the contents out.
They seem to put multiple cover sheets on and do not align them properly !
Well done 
I confess that I have swallowed at least half a dozen over the years. They have never done me any harm.
I see. No, my trick is to use the inhaler and then take the used capsule out. Put the dispenser down and momentarily become distracted and then swallow the capsule that is still in my hand. Clever eh!
Did that recently when distracted by chatty granddaughter. Worst thing I did was usind my 1st Ventalin inhailer without taking the cap off. Joyce
Or when you try to use your tiotropium inhaler, before you've inserted the capsule. Done that one a few times....!!
I swallowed one a few weeks back, my wife rang the pharmacist and they advised not to take another one via inhaler just to miss that dose. This made me realise that they must be very toxic to be told to miss the said dose completely.
Sitting laughing...thought l was the only one.i make a chart and tick off what l have taken. It helps but l still make mistakes.that damm spireva cap. Jumps into my mouth now and again
I remember that once I had a bad cough. I wanted to "improve" my nebulised saline, so I added some tea-tree oil! It irritated me so much that I phoned the chemist an hour later. he told me that since I took so long to phone him, that the product would eventually disappear without too much harm!
I'll never do that again!
