[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 111687, member: 3444"] If I remember right, something about the milk products slightly interferes with absorption, and things that are more acidic (like fruit juices) actually cause more of the medication to be absorbed.... but don't quote me here. I'm just having a flashback to something I read years ago. Maybe google it and see what comes up -- and definitely ask the pharmacist! We used applesauce to sprinkle the little beads on. Worked great, but had to remind difficult child not to crunch the little balls! They have a time-release coating on them and if you break it, it changes the absorption rate. Eventually, we used applesauce to get difficult child's to swallow tablets and capsules. It was textured enough to mask the solid nature of the pill, but liquid enough to swallow in one gulp. You could try practicing with M&M's, too. [/QUOTE]
