Being able to swallow tablets or capsules is an important life skill.
Liquid medications can have an unpleasant taste, are usually far more costly and have a higher manufacturing carbon footprint.
Please consider using the resources linked below to support your child in learning how to swallow solid medication should they need to, now or in the future.
If your child is currently prescribed liquid medication and is able to swallow tablets or capsules, then please contact the surgery via Anima.
Likewise, if your child needs medication in the future, please let the prescribing Nurse or Doctor know if they will be able to swallow a tablet or capsule.
Thanks for your support,
