The best method we have found is to actually cut the pill in half and take a small section of Fruit Rollup and wrap the pill in it. Trust me this is kid tested, mother approved. My son has even begged me to post this so other kids don't have to suffer - LOL.
Operation Candy Coated Pill to the Rescue
Step 1 - Cut the Pill in Half (Especially if it's a big horse pill)
Step 2 - Tear Off a Small Piece of Fruit Rollup and get Ready to Warp the Pill
Step 3 - Wrap the Pill and Easily Take it with No Gagging or Spitting it Back Up
That's it - simple fix and it tastes great. You might ask your Pharmacist before trying this method. Just in case it would mess with your pills delivery system but hopefully this method allows you to enjoy no drama pill taking.
