tablets
Medication, or tablets can be swallowed very well if you swallow it with a piece of banana.
cotton balls: Most people think the tablets are easier to swallow by putting their heads back.However, this is a mistake because the anatomy is very different.
If you put your head back, you break off the esophagus.
I advise my patients that it is better to leave your head in the normal position and swallow whatever medicine you need.
However, never drink without water because it may be possible for the tablet to stick to the wall of the esophagus and possibly cause ulceration there.
Please do not take meds with milk or grapefruit juice as this will change the effects of some medications. This is synonymous with some medications in the leaflet.
For antibiotics you should keep milk and milk products about 2 hours apart.
