Stay upright after taking pills
Most people understand that they can’t take pills lying down, but it’s also important to remain upright - sitting or standing - for at least 15 minutes after consuming the pills. Not only do the pills reach the stomach more easily, it can also help them go to work more quickly.
My mother is unable to bend easily at the hips and is confined to a bed most of the time, but we’ve been moving her bed to its most upright position for at least 15 minutes after taking pills, and she’s experienced less problems with having them get stuck on the way down.
