In reply to Disolving pills in water question., posted by huxley on September 18, 2010, at 19:48:18
I have experimented with this method using various meds. None dissolved well in water or juice. However, if the particles are small enough (crush the pills to powder before putting in water) you can shake it up good before taking your measured dose. The particles are fairly evenly distributed throughout, but you have to pour your dose quickly before they settle.
Some meds are available in liquid form. I don't know if zyprexa is.
Another option is to crush the pill to powder (using the back side of a spoon or butter knife), then visually make piles of your desired dose sizes. Not perfectly exact, but close enough for your puproses. The desired dose can be swallowed on a spoon of applesauce or whatever...something soft that can be immediately swallowed without any chewing.
