I have a huge problem taking pills and even very small ones just love to get stuck in my throat. I suppose if I gulp enough water with it the chances of that happening will be less.

This is my first moments here... I posted a Q without stopping here first. Looking like I'm going to start a New Trial with AbbVie and ABT-530/ABT-493.
