Re: Question about how to administer meds

[Guest guest]

I have the same problem...find out if the med comes in liquid or can you break the capsule and give the granules or can you smash/blend..I then place it in a favorite juice, drinkable yogurt, flavored milk...has to be something very sweet to disguise it..and taste it to make sure its thoroughly disguised, don't tell him of course...I love fresca avena mixed w milk...good luck!!Sent from my BlackBerry® on the MetroPCS NetworkSender: sList Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 19:39:34 -0800 (PST)To: <sList >ReplyTo: sList Subject: Question about how to administer medsI have a large 10 year old boy, who has extreme aggression when he doesn't take his med. My problem is getting him to take it. He doesn't understand reward systems, bargaining, etc. He doesn't understand why I am trying to give him this med. I have to slip it in his food. Often times, he can smell it or taste it, and will push it away. I just don't know how to get a extremely uncooperative child to take his med. He's taking risperdol orally dissintegrating tablets. I've tried (to no avail) to put it under his tongue. He spits it out. His dad suggested I put it in his mouth when he sleeps at night. It seems dangerous, and I would be afraid he could choke on it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Drinkable yogurt sounds promising.
