Thank you for this cup! We just got it as our 6 year old who is on the spectrum for Aspergers just could NOT swallow his pills whole. I gave it to him tonight and he didn’t even comment that the pill was in his mouth! I will be telling the other parents we know who are struggling with this problem as well!” If a telecare smoke alarm is not installed as part of your telecare system, you should still have at least one working standard smoke alarm in your home which will sound an alarm if it detects smoke but these will not automatically alert your help centre.

Probably the most well-known method for swallowing a pill is to take it with water. You can refine this method for optimum success by tweaking it a little.Crushing pills is a common solution to pill dysphagia. However, not all pills are designed to be crushed. Sometimes crushing pills can change the bioavailability or dosing of a medicine, which alters how effective the medicine is.

The fear of swallowing a pill is not entirely unfounded, but the important thing is not to overestimate it. It’s possible to choke on a pill and cause an uncomfortable sensation, but this is almost never an emergency – just an uncomfortable experience.
