Pill Taker Cup - Makes Swallowing Medium to Large Tablets & Pills Easy - Simply Drink Medicines Along with Water - Small Sized Cup Ideal for Kids, Adults & Seniors

My son had a mental block about swallowing something without chewing. We tried all sorts of techniques for getting him to swallow pills. We tried mini m&Ms and marshmallows and all sorts of things.Of it was food he could do it. If it was a pill it 100% of the time would not go down.I bought this cup and a pack of empty gelcaps that I manually filled with powdered sugar to make some practice placebo pills.The reviews that talk about pills sticking aren't wrong. It does happen. You need to make sure the pill rack is dry, and even then sometimes they cling.But drinking a bit faster generally fixes this. It's not a sip, it's more like taking a shot. Throw it back kinda fast and they go right down.Took all of about 10 days and my son doesn't even need the cup anymore. Money very well spent.No more liquids, chewables, etc. it is genuinely a quality of life improvement for all of us.

Extensive surgery on my mouth has made it very difficult to take pills. I bought this cup hoping that it would just wash the pills down. It didn't work. I would fill the glass with water, put the pill on the little shelf, and drink. When I put the glass down after drinking, the pill would still be sitting on the little shelf. I've tried it with large pills and small, and it never worked once. I've had to find another way to take pills. What a disappointment!

My son was prescribed a daily long term medication and was unable to swallow pills. For the first week it was a MAJOR struggle each morning taking an hour or more to coax a single small pill into him. I was at my wits end until I heard about this cup. This thing worked exactly like it says it does and from the first try. It was miraculous how it took a dreaded task and turned it into an effortless routine. Highly recommend!

Pros:* Affordable* Good idea & designCons:* It doesn't work for every child. It's worth trying, but after a lot of tries I had to accept the fact that it wasn't going to work for mine.We worked with child development to try to help my child swallow pillows before trying this. Child development suggested using mini-M&M's to swallow & progressing to regular sized M&M's. They also suggested wrapping pills with a tiny amount of fruit roll ups to make them more slippery to swallow. My daughter could swallow the M&M's, but when we progressed to tic tacs, she couldn't swallow those. The fruit roll ups were a great idea, but it made pills too large to swallow.We started working with an occupational therapist & she suggested this cup.This is a great idea, but for reasons I don't understand it didn't work for us. I have an 11-year-old daughter who still can't swallow pills. All medicines that she takes are in liquid form. She's autistic & has developmental coordination disorder. I suspect that's why she struggles so much with it. Her occupational therapist recommended this cup. She tried and tried & couldn't do it. If it was a small capsule with a smooth gel shell, she managed a little better. It still took several tries though. Regular sized capsules couldn't be swallowed at all (we practiced with Vitamin D capsules that she typically chews once per week). However, with actual pills it was a complete failure. The pills would dissolve with her multiple attempts. She ended up just drinking the water that contained the dissolved pill. I guess that's one way of using it, but not the intended purpose.

It work ok.

Best thing any pediatric doctor has EVER told me about. My child took medication in one sip with no issues

We purchased this cup, in hopes it would help our son swallow his daily pill. One the pill gets wet, it immediately sticks to the shelf in the cup, defeating the purpose entirely.

My grandson was having a hard time taking his prescription every day. I ordered this cup, and he takes his meds easily every day now!!
