For normal pills I don’t even need water for pills. I just swallow. My partner always makes me drink it afterward cause you are supposed to.
But those monster size ones! I’m like wtf why not make it 2 smaller one jerks!
This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn’t last the intended period.
A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they’d often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.

If they’re the hard pills, you can just cut them in half or even quarters if they’re big enough.
Should I schedule my press conference?

Maybe I’m making a bad assumption that it was made that big for a reason. It’s probably money…
Depends on the type of pill. Something easily desolvable like melatonin will dissolve in my throat of I don’t take it with water.
Now that’s a bitter taste that comes back up
Oh wow. Makes sense.
