Is there a brand of Spiro pill that's covered in something? At least once a week one sticks in my mouth or mid swallow and leaves the WORST aftertaste.

Happy 4th everyone.

I've never seen a spiro pill before, but maybe it'll fit inside some of those gelcaps you can get in a health food store.

mmmmmm.....spiro.........

I don't think it tastes any worse than any other pill I take and considering what it does I like taking it. :)

Yea, Ive accidentally tasted my spironolactone a couple of times. Super bad taste.

I thought they were all covered in minty something. Swallow them ASAP because they taste bloody horrible! :p

I had mine on a plate once, right next to my chocolate cake. Bit into the cake and *crunch*. It took ages to get rid of something that probably tastes worse than satan's sock he wore for a month straight.

I obviously don't take spiro, but when I have bitter pills to swallow I usually get out a small spoon, dip it in honey and then roll the pills around on there a little tiny bit to coat them myself. It might be worth a try, the worst that can happen is for spiro to be somehow soluble in honey...

"Satan's sock". Powerful imagery there. :-)

I've noticed the bad taste, although I've never bitten into one for the 'full effect' :)

I usually just take a drink of water, quick in with the pill, swallow and then chase with more water.

Cyproterone doesn't taste like anything. Just sayin.

Spiro to me does not taste like anything and I take many a day.
