    Hello 

    Before Covid took over the world I had started PrEP since I am forever on my knees. I was prescribed with Tenofovir. The issue though is, I have never been able to swallow tablets. No matter how hard I try and i probably sound like such a baby. My doctor said i can cut it in ahlf but it made it ten x worse cos of the taste. 

    I stopped taking PrEP when covid happened because I wasn't having sex 

    does anyone have any advice as I am considering PrEP again

    I don't know how big they are but I genetically have a smaller esophagus (got it from my dad and all my siblings share this trait) so I can't swallow nyquil/dayquil pills but anything smaller is fine. I put them in my mouth, then take a big gulp of water into my mouth so the pills are floating in the water and I can't feel them, then I swallow and continue to drink/swallow more water after to make my esophagus do the motions to get it down. Works great for me for most medication. 

     

    Also if I'm crushing pills I've noticed I can do it with my teeth and get them submerged in water like above and with a quick swallow I can barely taste them.
