My son has autism and Intuniv is working good with the behavior.I really like what i'm seeing but I have to crushed it to give it to him and hide it in peanut butter, I read in the safety information that you should not crushed Intuniv, Of course I want to stop doing it, but now I don't know what to do to give it to him. There no way for him to swallow the pill. Please, any suggestion? It come liquid?

my son has been on medications for several years now and takes his pills in apple sauce without chewing them. he can sometimes swallow a pill now without apple sauce and just a drink, but I have to coach him through it. I'm interested in the medication Inunive also because he just started it tonight. Please let me know how your kids are doing on it. Thx. - Kim

Put it in applesauce or yogurt... it will be easy for him to swallow. I used this trick for my son until he became accustomed to swallowing pills. Make sure you give him the spoonful and watch to be sure he swallowed.

Hi there,
my son was having a hard time taking the pill. after trying to get him to take it with water, i stuck it in a spoonfull of yogurt, and told him to swallow the yogurt without chewing. it worked, the hard part is getting him to want to take it! LOL, but its only been 4 days that he is on medication. Good luck

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Only my son has only been on Intunive for 4 days but he absolutely can't swallow the pill. He has Sensory Processing Disorder. I want to know if it is safe for him to chew the pill? I know it says not to but it is the only way he will take it. I was told it only comes in a pill form...no liquid. Help!
