I've never been able to swallow tablets but i bought meto and tagamet because I'm desperate and have to at least try. I just tried to take a test dose of 10mg meto (quite small) but was still unable to swallow it. I realised there is a mark through the middle of the tablet that you can split the tablet through to help with swallowing, but unfortunately was still unable to. The only way I am able to swallow it is by crushing it up. So my question is, should it be okay to take the meto and tagamet crushed up, and will they still be effective enough?
Are you lost too?

I have no idea, dear.
Maybe you could try reading the drug description leaflet?
for instance, in the leaflet of one of the meds I take, it is described that those pills should not be cut nor crushed. I don't remember ever reading this before so *maybe* you could conclude that if it is not inadvisable on the leaflet , there's no problem in doing it. Maybe it is too much of a stretch ..
And again,I'm far from an expert :)
Maybe you could talk to a pharmacist?

Thanks for the reply, I think I'll just crush them up and hope for the best then.
I don't really want to go to a pharmacist in case they ask for my prescription for the meto (which I don't have) and I have read the boxes that the tagamet and meto came in and they don't say anything about whether or not they can be crushed, just that you have to swallow it. And neither the meto or tagamet came with a leaflet, so I guess all I can do is hope for the best :)
Thanks again!
