Pill Crushing?

At my initial consult, my surgeon said I could not take my meds in pill form. He said that I either had to have them crushed, compounded or put into liquid suspension. What has been your experience with this? Do you just mix it in water-that must be nasty tasting? Anyhow, anyone who wants to share their experience with this let me know. Thanks a bunch, Dana

Some pills because of time release cannot be crushed and might make you feel ill. You would have to ask your doctor or pharmacist which ones you can crush. I have had most of my meds put into liquid. There is one I take that I take in crystals. It is in a capsule and I just empty it into yogurt or applesauce. I even take liquid vitamins and calcium . My doctor always says I can't take any pill bigger than an aspirin so anything the same size or smaller I take in pill form. Dianne

Thanks for the info Dianne. I am going to talk to my pharmacist this week so I can find out which ones I have to go to the compound pharmist for creating in a crystal or powdered form. So glad you answered-I was worried about this-Dana

I have not had any problems with pills. I was kind of afraid at first... but no problems here. So I have not modified how I take them... Just swallow with water or eat with food if that is what is suggested on the label. Sharon
