Aloha doctors! I have a hard time swallowing pills and was told to take 2 of the 500mg azithromycin pills. So I crushed it and mixed it into water. I was wondering if thats okay?
Is azithromycin time released? I have the 5 pack of 250mg. I had to cut in half to take to prevent pneumonia with my Covid. Im having a panic attack thinking its not okay to cut the pill in half. There is no way I can swallow whole?
Im on day 7 of Covid. The dr prescribed azithromycin 5 pack to take to prevent pneumonia. I cant swallow pills so I cut them in half. Is that okay? One Half was already half way dissolved before I was able to fully swallow. It was basically melted?
Ive been prescribed 4 azithromycin pills and I absolutely cannot swallow pills so I am considering to blend it in my daily berry smoothie. Will it taste really bitter or just a little bit? Will chocolate be strong enough to mask the flavour?
