Then hubby would crush them and put them into Jello pudding....it was always easier for me to swallow the pudding with the crushed meds than to swallow the meds with water, or to drink the liquid meds because they stung so bad. You might give that a try...all my meds could be converted, we just had to ask for the scripts to be rewritten. WISHING YOU THE BEST.
