Oddly enough, my mom never wanted us to associate medicines with candy, so my brothers and I were given a portion of an adult pill and told to chew it up. Aspirin was bitter, but Tylenol was worse.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoBrutal, but effective I suppose. Hopefully she never had to give you anything time released! You do not want to chew them if you plan for them to work in their properly metered delivery. Fun fact, OxyContin was deemed "impossible to become addicted to" because it incorporated a time-released design that everyone just started chewing up anyway.
- analog31 3y agoGood point, I hadn't thought of that. "Back in my day," there were no time release medicines that I'm aware of. When caring for kids of my own, the kiddie medicines were mostly liquids.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoMy son hated liquid medicines and quickly learned to be able to take pills instead. It's honestly so convenient that way though.
