I had breast surgery on Wednesday and I'm not able to swallow my pills. Do you have anything for me?

Would it be possible to ask my doctor to prescribe the antibiotic by injection?

Good evening ma'am,
What is the name of the antibiotic (some can be cut)? You can't take it because it's too big right?
Also, be aware that injectable antibiotics are very rarely used, especially during surgery done privately.

Clyndamicin I think! Way too big

Yes, it's true that these are big!
Thankfully, these pills can be opened (when it's a capsule) or cut in half without losing effectiveness. It'll taste nasty, but it'll work.
Happy evening and speedy recovery.
