It's kinda funny because I've been administering Mepron to three of my kids 2 times a day and they've been pretty good about it.

Well, it's my turn to be on it and I took my first dose this morning and while it's not terrible, I find I'm more of a baby about taking it than my kids. I tried taking it in a medicine cup, but it's kind of thick. How do you take it yourself?

I was thinking of trying a syringe like I do with the kids.

I don't like it. I've always had sensitive taste buds..and gag easily.

So I measure it out in a teaspoon and down the hatch. Blah.
I lick the spoon and get every last bit of that liquid gold.

Then I chase it with one Tbsp of peanut butter followed by one tsp of coconut oil - then eat a meal.

I take it with a syringe. I tried measuring it but I cant lick it off, I gag. I get a syringe from CVS and measure the full thing then squirt it in the middle of my mouth (tastes worse in the front) and im good!

it got stuck in everything i tried so i had to use a teaspoon. The syringe wouldn't fit in the opening of my bottle, cup was too deep, and trying to lick it out stained my lips yellow. The dosing spoon from the pharmacy was just useless.

And yes, take it with fat of some sort to aid absorption.

I put it in a locking food container. I wonder if its ok because its clear- does the light hurt it? anyway, that way I can get it out with the syringe.

When I took Mepron it was prescribed in individually dosed little packets, so I would just tear the top of the packet, squeeze, then chase with some water.
