I've recently started taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement. It's quite a large pill. The first few days were fine - I could swallow it. Then I started choking and gagging on it just to get it down. And today has been the first day that I just cannot get it down. I don't understand how I lost my ability to swallow pills (although last year I had some trouble swallowing echinacea pills).
So I've done some research on the net and here are some tips on swallowing pills:
- have it with yoghurt
- tip your head forward not backward when swallowing
- cut it in half
- put it in jelly
- relax and distract yourself by watching tv while you swallow
The first three haven't worked for me. I hope at least one of the last two works.
