Unable to swallow medicines
I have been facing this issue since long where I am unable to swallow huge or thick medicines resulting in vomiting it out. In general cases, my family doctor and other such, advice me for capsules or smaller size meds which are then easily taken. Recently, I have been prescribed Corcium tablet for calcium supplement. However, I am unable to swallow it. Would like to know if I can crush or divide into half and then take this medicine. Otherwise, if there can be another supplement in the form of a capsule or smaller size for easy swallowing?

You can press the tablet into some ripe banana and swallow it whole . Dividing the tablet and taking is not a problem either. Ensure drinking adequate water with the tablet
