It should be ok to take the pill with applesauce, as long as you don’t crush or chew it because it is a long-acting pill. You can also ask your pharmacist if there is any other way to make it easier for you to swallow the pill-perhaps there is a formulation from a different company that is easier to swallow, for example. Good luck to you!

As long as the pill is taken right away after placing it in applesauce (or other soft food), taking it with applesauce is not a problem.
