Hello
I am caring for my mother in law and she is suddenly refusing her medication after the first 3 tablets (she has 12 in total).
She holds them in her mouth or spits them out and gets very upset. The doctor has said she needs all tablets (I asked for a reduction in number). I am considering mashing some up in food after talking to pharmacist, but again she doesn't eat very well either.
I have no idea what to do to be honest, it is very upsetting as i know she needs the medication.
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
