Trivia, how do you take your pills?
Probably a bit sad I know but pill taking is still kind of new to me since before I had breast cancer I thought you had to chew panadols, not swallow them whole. Now I take my Tamoxifen, half of a tin...
I seem to have inherited my mother's capacity to dry swallow, a tiny bit of fluid can carry a lot of pills for me. But the yoghurt trick is a favourite with nurses particularly for older patients who often have a heightened gag response. I am always a bit uncertain about taking a lot together, does fish oil for example have any effect on something else if digested at the same time? I discovered (belatedly) that one medication should not be swallowed with milk (makes it slightly harder to absorb through the stomach). Ah the joys!
