My husband takes 6 different pills and he has become stubborn about swallowing them. He wants to put them all in his mouth and chew them up and then swallow. I know this is probably not a good idea, but he has dementia and is also a very hard headed individual.
Lisinopril - Is it dangerous to chew up lisinipril tablets?

No, swallow hole, if he must, it can be crushed up and taken(mixed) with yogurt, honey or jam, but still must be swallowed straight away-no chewing
