    Hello Tabunny

    If you have problems swallowing tablets, have you thought about buying a ceramic pestle and mortar?

    I know that pharmacies use them to convert tablets/capsules into linctus to make it easier for children/babies to take medicine.

    So,.......you would place the tablet/tablets into the mortar and slowly grind it/them with the pestle into a powder.

    Be sure to clean the pestle and mortar thoroughly before using again.

    Hope this helps
