I always have this problem with swallowing the capsules or pills. Sometimes I tends to finish the whole bottle of water before I can actually swallow the pills/capsules. :/
If only there’s an easy way..

Failure in human civilization is a good thing 😀
Try positioning the pill as far back your tongue as possible. Or put it at the tip of your tongue. Usually works for me.

Thanks man 🙂
OMG!!! the expression is so real!…now i know why my sis scold me when i cant swallow!!!
Reply:
hahahaha you too eh XD
five!
hahaha maybe u pull out the capsule and take the powder or if tablets chew it then swallow 😀
Reply:
Doing that makes the medicine not that effective
the trick is….
You put the capsule on the tip of ur tongue (front!)
Gulp in a mouthful of water (not too much, u need to swallow it in one shot).
Twirl or “rinse” the water around ur mouth so that the capsule gets “mixed” inside the water.
Swallow the water all in one shot while twirling the water. The capsule should go into ur throat without problem :).
Reply:
Ouuu.. I always try to put behind my throat^^”
i nvr had this problem until yest.. i drank the whole bottle of water, d medicine still thr >”< making me like a bloated goldfish today! AND u posted this today! ahahahahah.. so coincidentally!
Reply:
hahahahaha XD
I used to be like you then a friend of my mum taught me a way.
Put some water in your mouth (not too full of course) then put the pill in and swallow it together.
If that can’t work, then use the same way but drink more water after u popped the pill in. You will swallow the pill easily.
It work wonderfully for me XD
Reply:
normal size pill is okay but capsule a bit hard ^^”
I just end up choking on it -___-
Reply:
T3T same here
with capsules, after u have a mouthful of water, tilt your head forward (not backwards) then swallow…. cuz the capsules float so if u tilt your head to the back, it floats then cannot go down…
tablets u tilt your head to the back…
Reply:
Forward?
okay will try that
the pharmacist in me while reading the comments is going nooooooo cannot simply open!!! cannot simply crush!!!.. haha….

Haha. My friend used to have that problem till her mother brought her back to her doctor. He very kindly smiled at her and said “its ok, no need take pill. ” Then he pulled out the syringe and said he could give it to her via injection. After that she never complaint about pills and always takes them even without water. hehehehe. Its all about motivation ^^

SAMMMME! I always have that phobia, I cannot swallow pills at all! So my way of swallowing pills is to swallow it with food. Bananas, rice, snacks… I think its in my brain, as long as my brain knew I’m swallowing ‘Food’, it goes down easily =D
Reply:
hahahaha imagine it as a food..
oh wait, no one swallows food 1 ler
Hehehe… Me used to be very lousy… but now improved dy…

I’m ok with pills but cough syrups kills me.
With pills: Hold your breath before sticking the pill in, take a big drink of water and swallow everything down. I find that holding my breath makes it go down easier.
Reply:
Syrups is okay ar..
just swallow it
i also had the same problem.. but i learnt how to swallow pills when i had to take 4 different types of medicine (all capsules) every 4 hours for 1 month…. hahaha
Reply:
Reminds of my friend who need to eat a lot of medicine like you too @@
Same here!
Try to swallow it down with the water! just try to force it down with the water.
I can Swallow using that method but end up, having a stomach full of water 😛
Reply:

haha.. i oso cant swallow pills. i’ll bite the tablets. n as for capsules, i’ll open the capsule n pour e powder to a spoon. after tt, i’ll “eat” e powder and faster drink water. haha.. though dey say capsule is nt meant to be opened n consumed. it supposed to go to ur stomach n slowly dissolve the capulse’s sugar coat. haha.. so mafan when we hafta eat medicine everytime.
tt time i visit doc, he say swallowing pills can b trained de lor.. haha.. muz start wid swallowing wid small pills bah. wished i had learnt how to swallow when i was young =x
Reply:
That’s why its hard 🙁
can break it apart, can pull the powder out..
Haha! I used to be like that. Now I just put the pill under my tongue, then drink water, then the pill will be in the water, then pretend the pill is not there and swallow the water.
Reply:
next time i gonna psycho myself that the pills are not there haha
Worst is when the capsule dissolves in mouth before it gets swallowed down………………. omg
Reply:
true true!!!
lol..they should design a much smaller capsule to make it more patient-friendly XP
Reply:
Agree!!! they should!!
my brother also got this problem but i can swallow without water even.
u know what? practice when you drink iced beverage. find some small bit of ice the size of a pill and swallow it. i never tried this but hey it could work.
Reply:
Oh, but i seldom drink iced beverage.. not healthy 😛

Reply:

Oh, I have the same problem… I find it easier when I’m thirsty, then I just take a big gulp of water and it sort of “drowns” the pill so I don’t feel it’s there.
Reply:
hmm maybe i can make myself thirsty XD
