Most pills can be crushed and dissolved in liquid. If you're using

any sort of time-release stuff, that may make a difference. But

surely there is some equivalent product you could use briefly instead

of anything that can't be crushed. A pharmacist should be able to

tell you.

I would call your doctor or pharamcist and see if the medication is

also in a liquid form, or ifyou can crush it--if you can crush the

pills you could mix them in with applesauce, soup, pudding and use

the syringe to get it.

i found the best way to handle the crushed pills was by dissolving them

in orange juice I had microwaved for 15 seconds. The OJ's taste was

strong enough to mask the nasty medicine flavor, the microwaving made

it not too shocking to my sensitive teeth and the heat gave the pills

something to dissolve into because no matter how much you crush, there

are still peices and they taste NASTY! It took me about 1 week of

gagging on an apple juice mixture before I figured this out.

Good Luck!
