This winter, as part of our campaign to become a greener Practice we are keen to encourage our younger patients to swallow tablets when being prescribed medication, instead of them taking liquid medication.
Being able to swallow tablets is an important life skill. Even quite young children can learn to swallow tablets and they may prefer this over unpleasant tasting liquids.
