Re: Re: Pill Swallowing Cup

[Guest guest]

I purchased this cup last year and found that if you give capsules they stick to

the interior of the water flo tubbing. Maybe I'm doing somthing wrong but it

didn't work for me.

Capsules do get a little sticky when wet so that does seem very possible...

I wonder if rubbing just a touch of coconut oil on them first would make that

not happen???

Will find out as soon as it gets here. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's a link to the company website for the pill swallowing cup. I'm

really interested in this for a friend of mine's son... they have had to

choose meds around the fact that he can't swallow pills. Maybe this would

help him.

Donna,

FYI, I just called our local medical equipment store and they have one in

stock there for less than $4! I called pharmacies first (no luck) and then

thought of the medical supply company (where you get crutches and nebulizers

and all that good stuff).

The one they have is not the " Oralflo " one, but the lady I spoke to said she

had bought the style at the store for her grandson and she thought it had

worked fine. I'm going to go and look at it when I get a chance.

The Oraflo pill cup. Just google it. It has an angled spout that positions the

pill perfectly to slide down the throat with the first sip of water. My son

takes a tiny sip with the largest of his capsules. We did have to work our way

up from a small pill cut in half to large capsules. Then, I " bribed " him with

rootbeer to swallow larger pills. After that, he seemed to understand that if he

swallowed them using the pill cup, he wouldn't have to taste supps mixed in with

peanut butter or other food.

Good luck,

Robyn
