Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Carol My doctor prescribed Motrin 800 for me. All you have to to is drop the pill in some juice (to hide the bitter taste) and it dissolves within 15 minutes. Then you can just drink the pill. I have only taken the Motrin 800 since I have been home from the hospital, and they have kept my pain under control. The catch here is that you can not get the generic Motrin 800 because they don't dissolve. I learned that last weekend, and I was forced to buy some of the children's liquid Motrin also. It does not taste the best, and you have to drink nearly half the bottle in order for it to equal 1 Motrin 800 pill. > > > > > Tarryn, > > > > > Thanks for your understanding.
