Spray - Strawberry Flavor 1oz

I thought I had dysphagia because I often have a fear of choking and haven’t been able to take pills all of my life. Liquid medicine and gummies aren’t cheap, and not all medicine comes in a pill.I’d tried many times with a low success rate, and ended up buying this pill spray and a bottle cap that was advertised to help. The bottle cap didn’t work for my purposes, and I kept spilling water everywhere.This spray tastes like a sugar-free candy kinda; I think how good of a taste is up to if you can tolerate the sorbitol flavor? It reminds me of those hard candies with the strawberry wrapper. It lubricates your tongue to prevent the pill from sticking and masks the flavor of the pill if it starts dissolving in your mouth. I don’t think it /solved/ my dysphagia, but it helped greatly in the process of learning to swallow pills. What helped me the MOST was using a liquid other than water, preferably in a bottle. Something appetizing that you enjoy and want to drink, because the unmasked flavor of water and dissolved pills and stress makes it even harder to get your body to swallow. I spray once or twice, set the pill as far back as I can without gagging (or in the indent in the middle if it’s larger), swallow a mouthful of a sweetened beverage from a bottle (head tilted back to let the pill slide toward my throat), and it usually works. If the pill floats to the side of my mouth, I take a few deep breaths, remove the pill from my mouth, and spray my tongue again. I still can’t swallow large pills yet, but I’ve worked up to being able to take several small pills in one gulp. I can even take pills without the spray now because of how used to the motion I’ve gotten, but when I have it, I usually choose the spray because it tastes pretty good and it helps.So much freedom when I visit the drug store now! Thanks! Hopefully someone who can relate will get some use out of this. I just wish it came in larger bottles and was maybe easier to find.

it is very easy to swallow pill glide works wonders i reccommend this product

The flavor almost reminds me of a strawberry flavored medicine, so I can’t say I love that aspect. That said, I can overlook it. I take iron tablets and have a horrible time swallow pills. Iron tablets tend to dissolve quickly in my mouth and leave me with a sickening taste. Along with my major difficulty with swallowing pills in general, it’s always been very hard for me to take medication. This spray, however, is a game changer. It coats my mouth and throat with 2 sprays, covers up the awful taste, and coats my throat/mouth with a slickness. This product has greatly reduced my anxiety around taking pills. The only drawback is that I wish they sold larger bottles.

I find this product extremely helpful for swallowing larger pills. I do spray more than twice (usually more like 5 times to hit the back of my throat and my tongue). But it’s great. I just l reordered another bottle because I never want to run out of this stuff. It helps me feel less anxious to know I have a little extra help - and I think getting over the mental barrier is a bit part of swallowing pills.

I purchased the Pill Glide Spray to help me swallow pills post abdominal surgery. The spray did not help in the least, even after spraying the pill, tongue, and throat a dozen times per pill. Plain old applesauce and water worked best. If anything, the Pill Glide Spray just made swallowing worse. A worthless product.

I thought I'd give this product a try. You spray it in your mouth twice--, once on the tongue and the other at the back of your throat. I tend to want to choke up on large or chalky pills. The cost if affordable and I figured if it works, great. What seems to work for me is the flavor-- I get momentarily distracted by the yummy strawberry flavor and whooo- put the pill in my mouth and chug some room temperature water. Ta-da, it's down the throat and I'm pleasantly surprised! I'm buying some for elderly friends for Christmas.

I buy this constantly for my husband. He takes a pill at night that the taste is so bad he almost throws up. Scared of the day they don’t make it anymore.

My 6 year old son has ADHD and one of the medications that he has been prescribed is a tablet that needs to be swallowed whole and cannot be crushed. We have tried every pill swallowing device / product on the market and I was very excited when I received this in the mail.My son liked the flavour and texture of the product and was fine to use the spray delivery method.We sprayed it in his mouth as per the instructions and he took the pill with a glass of water. The first time my son used it, he was able to swallow the pill. However, every subsequent time was a failure. We tried every day for two whole weeks but it was unsuccessful.I can see that this might be helpful for an adult but for a younger child having the pill in his mouth to start was too overwhelming.- Mom to a 6 year old son with ADHD and a two year old son.
