If you're going to have this done regularly you should inquire if they have the better meds for it. I had 2 packages of crystals to mix in 1 cup of water, they were lemon/lime flavored and not that hard to take. One dose at 7 am and the second at 2 pm. Then 4 little pills to take at 7 pm. That was it. Much easier than what you're describing. And trust me, it did the job!!
