Horse pills

Doctor Setebos · 10-16-2008, 05:36 PM

I'm extremely sick. In fact, you may become infected just by reading this thread. I have a nasty sinus infection, and the doctor has prescribed the largest pills I have ever taken. 875mg Augmentin. Take a look at the crappy cellphone pic:

That's a quarter there for reference. The damned things are a meal in and of themselves.

Guh.

Back to bed......

At least it's not an ass pill.

Everyone vs Dinosaurs · 10-16-2008, 06:06 PM

When I had a staff infection I had to do those.

They are bitches, they are.

(But so are antibiotic resistant forms, so I guess you should be thankful!)

One of the parts of my job is packaging pills in blister packs for nursing homes. Sometimes you have to break out the extra large blisters, just to fit huge ass pills in them. It's totally normal for a patient to be taking 12-15 different prescriptions, sometimes a dozen pills in the morning and 10 at night. It's really disturbing.

At least the ones you have there are nicely contoured, it sucks when you just have sharp edged disc shaped thing to swallow. And yes, at least it isn't a suppository.

DoctorFinger · 10-16-2008, 06:36 PM

Since it has that indented line across it you can break/cut the pill in half. That should make it easier to swallow.

Sorry to hear you are so sick. I've been there with them sinus infections. Seeing that pill makes me glad me brain medicine is teeny tiny.

Get better, Doc!

I know that if you shove a normal pill up the anus, nothing will happen. But what happens if you put a suppository in the mouth?

AniAko · 10-17-2008, 06:59 AM

I take two vitamins that size everyday, and I take them at once.

Zrikz · 10-17-2008, 07:49 AM

Dear lord, I cry at the sight of that thing... I physically am unable to swallow pills larger than those blue liquidy /gell headache medicines, especially when I'm stick, and thats probably a little less than half the size of that monster.

I was trying to take one of said blue pills a few months back while I was sick and had a fever and nearly choked.. ended up not being able to take it cause it would get stuck in my throat

You know this from experience?

Yeah, me too. 1000mg of fish oil and a multipass, I mean vitamin.

I still don't like it, and often gag on the multivitamin.

If someone shoved a pill up my anus (I wouldn't do it, that's for sure), SOMETHING would happen. Something bad.

Well, nothing of any medical value.

I take 800mg ibuprofen pills when I feel the need, I guess I dont know how big they are in relation to 2 bits, but I know they arent small.

Why the fuck is it so hard to make a smaller multi-vitamin? I fucking hate those huge pills.

Good question. It seems like something you might get used to, but I still haven't. They taste gross as fuck too, if you have a hard time getting it down.
