Question
My wife takes contraceptive pills, and she cannot swallow the pill without water. She needs to take the pill at the same time every day, which is currently at 10 PM. Can she swallow the pill with a little water?
Answer
Hello,
In such a case, the taste of the water should be altered with salt or tea essence, etc.
