I take medicine with a little food in my mouth like chips, cookie, cake, fruit or whatever. just before I swallow I add the pill/tablet. These fish oil pills are the worst, they are really sticky if you try to swallow them.

All pills are easier to take with bananas. Mouthful of banana, nom nom, pop the pill in the heart of the bolus. Swallow

Wait, what ? Tilting your head ? Almost fulfilling your mouth ? I just drink a little of water and use the flow to swallow the pill, without tilting my head.
