The new pills I was prescribed are great big trapezoids. How on Earth will I swallow them?

Sometimes they go too far in making each type of pill unique-looking, don't they?

Could you break them before attempting to swallow them?

Dislocate your jaw and lubricate your throat.

If you can take them with food try swallowing them with a spoonful of pudding or something.

Put the pill at the end of a hose,
insert hose in mouth, and turn it
on. This works fine with cats, and
should with you, as well.

I don't think taking any advice from you would be very wise.

Why do people think that? Seems like a good idea,
and I figured you'd make a good test case.

Calandale, I am looking for an assistant at work and you seem to have lots of great advice!

I work with people with emphysema. Please send your application to me!

They make gelatin capsules I'm sure there are ones these trapezoids will fit in.

One of the medications I take is shaped like a shield.

My record is taking 9 pills in one go.

Maybe you could try crushing it and mixing it in some food.
