Good morning I can't swallow pills. In November we fly to Zanzibar and as a prophylaxis against malaria, a travel medicine doctor prescribed falcimar to us. Can this drug be crushed and taken with yogurt or porridge, for example?

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, Falcimar tablets should not be crushed, the daily dose should be taken at the same time each day with food or milk drink. In patients with swallowing problems, an appropriate practice to facilitate swallowing is to take a tablet with soft food, e.g. a soft roll soaked in milk/yogurt.
