@nathandavid I’m glad that solution worked for you and your mom. I would caution, though, that you talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you try it again. Crushing medications can totally change the way they act in the body. For instance, a heart pill might last only two hours instead of 8; A pain pill may give all of the medication at once, which can be serious. Check with your doctor or local pharmacist to find out which pill you can crush and which, not. You can still put the whole pill in applesauce or yogurt! That’s what I did for quite awhile when I returned home from the hospital.
This message isn’t meant solely for you @nathandavid. Your question was just the perfect one to express my message on medication safety! Everyone, who manages medication for themselves or others, should carefully read the label on the medication container! Safety first!
