Pretty sure that you can take any prescribed medications. If it's a specific pill that was not prescribed you should maybe call your surgeon and just ask.

Children's Chewable Vitamins usually have adequate Iron.

I swallowed pills right away with no problems. If it was a big horse pill and I could cut it in half, I did that, so it wouldn't feel stuck.

Wow, okay. What about if you have a headache for example? Can you take over-the-counter asprin and stuff? I wonder if some meds are to strong for our tiny stomachs?
As far as liquid vitamins.....I only have one word for you....Disgusting!!!! Barf! Yuck! Okay, that was 3 words....but you get the picture~
