How can I make my medicine taste good?
My phosphorous is low and I have to take this phosphorous vitamin powder. It is supposed to be fruit flavored and be mixed with water or juice. I've tried both of those, as well as mayo, peanut butter, iced tea, protein drink, and vitamin water. I just don't know what to do. It tastes absolutely HORRIBLE! Any ideas? Light small things would be nice.
I also tried it with sugar. I don't drink Cool-ade or alcohol.
I poured it on my tongue and then drank a lot of the Crystal Light iced tea. It seems the "flavor" gets stronger when you add it to something.
The Honey sounds good, though, but still open to other ideas.
Thank you!

A spoon full of sugar, of course!
No, but seriously, mixing with Cool-Ade is usually a good idea for medicines. It will always taste weird but your goal is really to take the edge off. Some stuff is OK with ginger ale, but your mileage may vary.
Yogurt may also be a good idea because it is also soothing to the stomach and you can mix it without having to dissolve it.
The other way to do it is with a "chaser." Take the medicine in the quickest way possible (just eat the powder or in water) and then drink something pleasant right after.

relies upon on although if it particularly is liquid medicine or pills. maximum phramacies sell flavoring which would be extra to liquid medicine to make it flavor extra acceptable- merely ask your pharmacist. those issues is meant for infants yet, howdy, I see no reason us adults can no longer have solid tasting medicine, too. For pills, i might verify the training till now including nutrition with it-- some drugs must be taken by myself or with water, and a few must be in touch in nutrition. if so, you're in success, merely positioned the medicine on your nutrition (if this is a chewable) or cover the medicine interior a small piece of nutrition and easily swallow it.

I have a method of taking really gross medicine. Trust me, I've been there. The trick is to take it all in, or finish it fast. When you take your medicine, don't breathe at all. Just finish it and when you have to breathe, just breathe through your mouth. Keep your nose clenched if needed. Take your medicine without thinking a single second thought. Drink lots of water after that to dilute the flavors. When its all over, you won't feel that bad. Hope i helped :)

You put it in mayo and peanut butter? Do you think it is the phosphorus or the fruity flavoring? Maybe you could get it without the flavoring. Best advice is to continue chugging it.

Actually there mighty be no way to really make medicine taste good because it is gross, the best way is to not make it touch your tounge, if u just move ur tounge and u swallow it drink water over it it will be like u never swallowed it it is also a good way to say money on nasty stuff also hold ur nose if u can smell it.
