    I've seen pills that are nearly as big as a Werther's Original. I'm amazed people can swallow something so big without choking. What's the biggest pill you've ever had to take? I can't swallow pills at all unless they're really small. Some will say if you can swallow food you can swallow a pill. Yeah you don't chew a fúcking pill.

    First take a decent mouthful of water then put pill on back of tongue and with another mouthful of water, wash it down and then have more water to send it on its way. The first mouthful of water sort of sets up a conveyor best to help carry tablet downwards You could practice with some smarties. I used to take mega huge vitamin C tablets and this is advice that works for me.

    That "cake" pill they all spoke out against looked pretty huge...

    Due to an unlikely series of events culminating in me falling flat on my face - I ended up swallowing a small sized entire boiled egg whole once. Does that count?

    Almost anything with a jelly coating (like vivioptal). Have to get a lot of saliva going on to manage the horrible chalky type though. And sometimes I panic and they still come back up :( Half dissolved vitamin tablet stuck in your craw, yuk yuk.

    I was on antibiotics last week, throat nearly closed with infection.. Sore ear and jaw making it near impossible to get my mouth open.
    I was wondering what stupid genius came up with the idea to put the medicine in a horse tablet, it was f'ing HUGE. Amoxcillin I think.. Ffs..
    A top tip for swallowing ginormous tablets.. Fizzy water.. Bubbles coat the tablet and make it slip down easier ;) swear t God
