Comment:
I am a Prosteon customer, taking it to moderate the effects of ADT. I'm having difficulty swallowing those large pills, and often find myself skipping the dosage because of this difficulty. Can the pills be split? Crushed? Is there an alternate product from Theralogix that's easier to take? A similar review was posted in 2014 by another user.

I find the tablets easy to take. I take both of them together with one gulp of water and have no problem with that.

Comment:
These are the largest pills I have ever tried to take. They continually get stuck in my throat. I have taken them with yogurt, cut them in half -- with no change in result. They still get stuck. I have never had this problem with medication before. The process of trying to take Prosteon is so uncomfortable that I find myself putting off and skipping taking them.
