What are some other ways to swallow pills for people who have a hard time?

Crushing the pill in applesauce or peanut butter works for some people. You want to make sure, however, that it's okay to crush the pill, so ask the pharmacist. A lot of medications are not available in liquid form for people who have problems with pills. Discuss it with your physician to find out what the options are.
