Horse pills

For the love of God... why are these pills huge?

My new doctor has recommended that I take 800 IU of Vitamin D and 1200 mg of Calcium to supplement my diet and current vitamin regimen. So I went and bought the vitamins last night. Each pill contains 400 IU of Vitamin D and 600 mg of Calcium so I have to take two pills to get the recommended dose she told me (and what the bottle says as well).

These pills are HORSE PILLS! They are almost as big as a penny. Hell it is as wide as a penny and probably between 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick! And I have to take two of these?! Ick.

Why can't they put these in a nice little gel tablet or capsule to swallow? Noooo, they have to be solid little pink bricks of nasty tasting pills. Bleh. That and the L-Lysine I take and my normal vitamin pills which I have to stop taking since that contains 800 IU of Vitamin D. Nasty. Nasty.

Least it's not as bad as Iron pills. Even though my pills are tiny they still taste nasty.

The fun part is gonna be swollowing those suckers. I've had to do it before and I hate pills.

Make sure u got ALOT of water on hand because it might get ugly.

Goodluck.
 
You don't have to actually chew those things, do you, Mika? If not, I'd just suggest crushing them, mixing them into a glass of water or something and just drinking it straight down.
 
Oh god no. Yuk, if I had to chew those things I'd probably... well lets just say I'm glad I clean my bathroom daily. I had a total of five pills to take today and right now I feel more miserable then before. But I have no choice since my doctor feels that in order to become healthy and get my immune system back up that I need to take these nasty things. I'll stop at the dollar store and pick up a pill crusher since I have five different nasty pills to take.

I just hope the new antihistamines DO work and will help clear up the pressure and pain in my sinus region. God, I hate getting old. Did I mention that when they measured my height that I am no longer 5'6" and am 5'5"!? ::Cries:: I'm only 33 and shouldn't be shrinking yet!
