Sometimes the medication can be put their food, such as applesauce, and that will motivate the patient to take it. You should determine why the patient does not want to take the medication. The person could be fearful of being poisoned or does not like the way the medication makes him or her feel. If you cannot get the person to take medications call his or her physician's office and let the doctor know what is happening. The pharmacist will know if the medication can be put in foods. Some meds cannot be put into food. The pharmacist may be willing to speak to the patient too.
