[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 552690"] Call the doctor. Ask for a different medication. There is probably another form or a different medication that is better suited for her situation. Even *if* this medication is the best choice in a perfect world- remind them it's not a perfect world -- and in your mom's case - taking a liquid may mean she takes way too much or not enough. ie: it won't do her ANY good if it's not taken properly. While not the same situation- when my oldest was a toddler in daycare & often sick & prescribed something (amox usually) 4x a day for 10 days; I learned to request something that could be taken twice a day (so only at home) instead. Same thing when my kids were in school. They were always happy to accommodate. God bless your mom- 98!!! And you are a wonderful daughter. [/QUOTE]
