Hi,
All my life i've been scared of choking on tablets, I do all I can to avoid taking them, and if I do have to take them, I always break them in half (if possible). Now I've been prescribe Orlistat (xenical), to help with my weight loss, and they're quite big, they're capsules (I think) that are 2 halves slotted over each other.
Is anyone else afraid of choking on tablets? Whenever I take any I always end up choking, and almost being sick, and quite often the tablets get so soggy in my mouth I have to throw it away and start another.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
Also, it came with no information leaflet, because I had a non-standard number of tablets I guess, so I don't know if I can open them up and just take what's inside (i know with most you can't do that).
Thanks,
