My pain meds were liquid and also a fentanyl patch and pill form we had to cut or crush…taking pills was NOT easy!!!!
Ondansatron dissolves, however my dry mouth prevented it from dissolving so I always had to swish my mouth with water prior to taking it.
Hope this information helps,

Ask pharmacy for liquid medicine when possible
Or break pills into acceptable sizes of powder.
