I crushed a lot of mine and added water and put them through my tube, but they were okay to do that way. A few we hunted for a liquid form. (One we found smelled so nasty I was glad I never had to actually drink it ... that was definitely for the tube! Might have been okay disguised in a shake or something though.) Pharmacists are angels in these circumstances ... find ones you trust, if you don't already have them. They are worth their weight in gold.
