How do you swallow a tablet?

I put water in my mouth, then tablet, then more water.

Water first! (I didn't know so many others did this..LOL)

Pill then water.

I also have a trick to swallowing pills. A straw. Put the pill in your mouth then drink the water through the straw. You never even feel the pill going down...even those big ones Worked great for a girl I work with who had problems swallowing even small pills.

Other than my vitamins I rarely take pills. My vitamins taste horrible so I take them with orange juice. I put the orange juice in my mouth first, then the vitamin.

Pill then pop or lemonade.I never use water.Sence I take pills twice a day I thought this poll are interseting.

None of the above. Take a sip of water, then the pill, then drink the accompanying liquid. I can't get pills down with anything warmer than room temperature either, it has to be something cool.

Most of the time it's the pill in first, then a drink of water. But if it's Advil I'm taking I don't need anything because the coating is sweet, so I suck on it for a little bit then swallow.

it really depends. Sometimes I'm in such a hurry I bring my meds to school and use the water fountain.

Liquid first (usually Red Bull energy drink) then pill... then more liquid.

I can only take small pills like Ibuprofen or something. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Even eating I have to chew my food thoroughly(sp?).

When I do take a pill though, I place the pill on my tongue and get a big gulp of water and it usually goes down on the first try. I'll have to use the 'head to the right' method next time.
