Oralflo Pill Swallowing Cup is designed for pill swallowing-resistant pediatric patients.
Making pills easier to swallow
To solve this dilemma, Oralflo has introduced a "pill swallowing cup" for kids 4 years of age and older. Brilliant in its simplicity, the Oralflo cup is designed to use the natural swallowing reflex to help a child swallow pills without difficulty. The lidded cup is half-filled with liquid, and the pill is dropped into the drinking spout, which contains a plastic grate. The child drinks naturally from the cup, and hopefully the pill follows the water down the gullet. The cups cost $10, and are available directly from the Oralflo Web site, http://www.oralflo.com/.
