My wife will always buy capsule shaped paracetamol to help, as an example, but has to be completely upright and drink the tablets down with a full glass of water. It has thankfully improved somewhat for her but in the past the amount of water she needed to drink before they would go down fully for her was beyond just a glass or two. Finding capsule / caplet shaped alternatives as helped.
Our eldest daughter often finds the tablets are still there and become stuck. Thankfully she doesn't need to take regular medication but if she has needed to do so, and there isn't a liquid alternative, it is a major issue for her to take them without discomfort.
