Taking Medication During a Fast

Question

I have a pill that I take every day (contraceptive). How can I take it during a fast? I can't take it without water. I would appreciate a prompt response. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,
You should make the water bitter, for example, by adding tea essence or salt, etc.
