Hi, I've been on medication since I was 7 and always hated swallowing pills and sometimes I really struggled. I put up with taking one at a time for years until a couple of years ago I got endocarditis where I was throwing up for days on end but I had to find a way to keep my meds down. I found chucking them all in my mouth in one go and swallowing them with a massive gulp of water was the best way and I still do it now. This was before my transplant and the meds are even stricter now so I'm glad I finally thought to do this!
Also perhaps have your bf think about getting a watch or even a fitness tracker that has silent (vibrating) alarms so he won't miss his meds, and the best thing ever for managing meds is a weekly organiser - I would be lost without mine. I set up my pills for the week and I can just glance to see if I've taken them - in case get distracted during my alarms. Before I had it I was sometimes unsure if I had taken them at all which is not good! So it's really a must for meds that you can't miss even once. Mine is like this one which I've found is the best type. Good luck to you both and you're a really amazing lady for doing this!
I'm going to be lazy and copy paste what I just told someone else.
