I would also try to return them. For the life of me I can not understand why they make vitamins too big to swallow! I have had the same problem, and I don't usually have that problem....they are just TOO BIG.
Why not make them smaller and just take two?
Any tips for swalllowing large pills?

Re: Any tips for swalllowing large pills?
I take about 23 pills a day. lots of big ones and some tiny little ones (those get caught between my teeth). I put 4 or 5 pills under my tongue and immediately take a big swig of water. It carries the pills to my throat. I always have something to eat, cookie, cracker, piece of bread etc, to push them down my throat. One bite will do it.

How big are the usual bites of food you eat?
Are the pills bigger?
If not, just train your mind to see them as food. If you can swallow a bigger piece of say apple or carrot, you can train yourself to swallow this too.

Personally, I just wouldn’t take them. I have gotten pills hung before and won’t take the chance again unless it is vital for me.

I haven't been taking them. I am going to try to return them or at least exchange them for some different vitamins. We'll see....ownedbydogs wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 1:28 pm Personally, I just wouldn’t take them. I have gotten pills hung before and won’t take the chance again unless it is vital for me.
