Can you crush the pill my daughter doesn't chew or swallow pills?

Yes, I should think so, but how old is your daughter? If she is young, I would do some checking first, try nonmedicinal approaches first, such as no electronics in the bedroom. I hope this helps.

I would not think this would be a good idea for this product. This is a time release product so its effectiveness is released slowly over a period of time. However, Natrol does make a dissolvable tablet that is strawberry flavored that may be worth a try.

I think that would effect the time release. Go with another non time release melatonin.

any medication can be crushed, capsules can be opened up and placed into applesauce or pudding, pills that are extended release should not be crushed they loose the extended release.

I think that could be done; however, there is a liquid version of this product: Natrol Melatonin 2.5mg Liquid, 8 Fluid Ounce

Hi. There is a cutter for tablets,that I bought at a pharmacy. About crushing it, I realy don't know, maybe it's better to ask your vet?But there is another solution,to hide it in a piece of food, like sausage.I give my dog the tablets like this:I open her mouth, put the tablets as deep as I can, and then gently rub her throat to help her swallow

You do not swallow, they start to dissolve as you put them in your mouth just like an aspirin however my son takes pen and since he's only 10 chews them.

I didn't know that had a soft chew. I use the standard pill but break it up into quarters and mix it with his food.

If you have an issue with swallowing them, they do chew easily. Although the flavor has a shellfish quality to them. I'm not someone who can swallow medium to large pills, and I wound up chewing them.

I have not tried to chew them and I am waiting for my next bottle. When I get it, I will try and let you know. Of any pill I have taken, they are very easy to swallow. You prob could cut them in half and that would make it easier to take. They are similar to a football in shape, oval.

Well that's up to your dog. But if he/she doesn't like to do pills, I would try the soft chews.

They can be swallowed. My doctor recommends that I bite the pill in half, with my front teeth, just to help the pill break down a little quicker.

They are pretty big in size, in my opinion. If your child has issues taking pills, you might want to cut it in half.

I have never done this. My kids chew it but I would assume that you could because you are supposed to let it dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. It is definitely not a pill you have to swallow whole. My kids like the taste.

Yes, quite easily with a pill splitter. Can also be crushed if need be. My daughter had a feeding tube and needed the salt to be dissolved in the formula. Hope this helps.

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

The tablets are very easy to chew, but I would be concerned about the dosage, since it is not formulated for infants, so I would read the instruction carefully, ithere is an age range which ithe pills are targeted for. There are infant formulae at amazon you can get. I would worry about the tablet got stuck in an 18 month old's throat. I think a liquid formula is safer. An 18 month old infant cannot follow your instructions. I have used up my supply, so I cannot check for you.

The pills are very small, not tiny but about the size of a small aspirin. We put it in a bit of food and he just swallowed it whole. He was not healthy but never had a stomach problem or any side effects from this pill.

My daughter has enlarged tonsils and has the same difficulty swallowing pills/tablets. I taught her to lean back her head, hold a mouthful of water (as if preparing to gargle) and then drop in the tablet before swallowing. Works great with large tablets and she doesn't feel the pill go down.

The pill is a medium sized vegetarian type capsule; so you could break it open and take the powder with food or drink. This could change how effective it is, depending on how you do it.

I have no idea, I just don't like to swallow pills. The powder works great for me. I use it only once a day and lasts a couple of months.
