Q. Recently my daughter had to switch the type of pill she takes daily. She was having trouble swallowing the larger pill. She has been using Pill Glide Swallowing Spray and now has no trouble swallowing her daily pill. I thought others might benefit from knowing about this product.
A. We did some checking and it appears that this flavored spray (strawberry, grape, peach, orange, etc) does seem to help some people swallow their pills. Ingredients include water, glycerin, sorbitol, xanthan gum, neotame (an artificial sweetener) and natural and artificial flavors. When sprayed in the mouth, the flavor masks offensive odors or tastes, and the spray is supposed to reduce friction and keep pills from “sticking.”
