Crush it up and put it in to a small shot of a strong tasting juice...like cranberry juice for example. Think about it, it would be pretty hard pound a full glass of vodka so we take shots. So put it in a shot glass an tip your head back! Good luck!
What about mixing it with a smoothie with lots of fruit?
cut it down to small pieces and swallow it that way.
You just do it. Put it in a very small amount of liquid and drink it like a shot. Toss it back and swallow. If you put it in a huge drink and try to make yourself drink through the whole thing, yeah, it's gonna make you gag. You need to get a small amount so you can just do it in one swallow.
crack kills
put it on your tongue and drink a lot of water at once
Check with your local apothecary. They should have suggestions. Without knowing more specifics about the bladder problem, I'd say you may get away with drinking a lot of tea.
EAT SOME CRACKERS /THEN DRINK FAST
I can't stand taking pills, so there is a couple of ways you can do this. Fill your mouth with water, juice etc. hold it in your mouth (don't swallow) tilt your head back with the water in your mouth drop the pill in and swallow, or crush the pill, fill a cup up with only a shot of water, drop in the crushed pill then sip. This way your not drinking gallons of fluids for just one or two pills. HAPPY PILL TAKING!!!!
If you have tried plugging your nose and it still doesn't work, then this has become a mental issue rather than a physical taste issue. You're psyching yourself out!
The first thing you should do is do 3 or 4 minutes of deep breathing and tell yourself that it isn't that bad and you're going to get through it.
Next, try adding some flavour to the water. Squeeze a 1/4 or 1/2 of a fresh lemon in there, or even a tablespoon of honey into hot water.
I get a big gag reflex when I swallow pills and hate taking them, so what I do for big ones is cut them in half. Once in smaller more manageable sizes, I put it on my tongue and fill my mouth with water and then gulp it all back. The larger amount of water and smaller pill makes it go down without touching the sides! You'll hardly notice.

If you can swallow small capsules, buy some empty gelatin caps and fill them with the crushed pills.
You can also crush the pills to powder and mix it with peanut butter and chocolate and see if you can eat that. The "not being able to swallow pills is mostly psychological unless you have some unnatural constriction of the throat. Most people swallow bits of food larger than any pills.
You can also completely dissolve the pills in warm water, add lots & lots of honey, hold your nose and drink it fast.
This is like asking how to stop the pain of hitting yourself with a hammer. Drop the hammer!
You don't need this YiJun mumbo-jumbo.
I'm a nurse and the perfect food item to mix it with is applesauce. I used this method on most of my patients and it's very effective because of the consistency- it is easier to swallow. I wouldn't mix it with large amount of fluids because if you can't stand the taste, then you will probably end up finishing only half then throwing the rest away. after taking in applesauce w/ the med, then you can follow w/ the fluids.
Hi bando, you can take the pills, you are resisting. If you need to take the pills it's time for you to figure out why you are resisting because physically you are very capable of swallowing these pills 3 times a day.
Just relax, place the pill on the back of your tongue, relax and drink a glass of water, don't think about the pills.
Remember, relax, it will go down.
I HATE taking pills but when I need to I can take 8 - 10 pills all a once, no trouble as long as I just relax and let them go.
You can do it too!
Remind yourself, these pills will help me.
