How To Take A Pill

It may be an easy task for most people to swallow a pill, but there are many adults and children who have problems taking pills. There seems to be two real types of pill taking problems:

• The fear of or actually gagging - may cause the throat to tighten up and makes it hard to swallow. This is a physical type problem.
• Psychological - this type of anxiety is more of a brain function than physical.

I want to write a little about the problem and then show a "solution for most people" on how to take a pill.

I am writing this from personal experience and my problem fits into the psychological category. I had no problem swallowing pills for many years, but as I grew older and started taking supplements, which normally are large pills, I began to have problems swallowing them. Soon, I was having trouble swallowing even small pills. My problem was that as soon as the pill hit my tongue, it seemed that my brain would not allow me to swallow. Once I swallowed, I had no problem with the pills going down my throat. That is why I have diagnosed it as psychological (not an MD diagnosis).

Another aspect to this type of anxiety is that it caused my blood pressure to spike. That may happen to other people without them knowing it. When I was having my worst problems, I monitored my blood pressure with a home monitoring meter. I eventually stopped taking most of my supplements.

I did some research on the internet and found a solution which had worked for others,

I ordered the Cup and received it in about 4 - 5 days. The cup is designed to use your natural swallowing reflex to help you swallow medications and vitamins.

I also took a brochure of the Oralflo Pill Swallowing Cup to my family doctor and he was very impressed. He has several patients who have trouble swallowing pills and he plans to recommend the cup to them.

After using the Pill Swallowing Cup for about a year, using the technique of swallowing pills with the cup, I no longer have to use the cup. I can take my pills normally with a cup or glass of water.
