I hope this is not perceived as a silly question. My mother's medications are in pill and capsule form. She is not at all averse to taking her medications, thus far.
But I wondered if there are any products out there like pill pockets. For my pet, we use pill pockets, so that he eagerly takes the heart medication and omega 3 complex pills we give him. These pill pockets have the texture of play-doh (sp?) and come in beef and chicken flavors.
Are there any such things for people? Ideally in some interesting flavor?
Again, I hope this isn't a silly question. When my father first took sick (with dementia), many years ago, we convinced him to drink Ensure by telling him it was a milkshake. I'm just trying to prepare for a future time when my mother might be less willing to take her medications.

Thanks, Nina. I did figure we could just try stuffing the pills and capsules into something else, if necessity arises. I was just hoping that perhaps there might be a product out there with maybe a chocolate or vanilla flavor, so that the pills would seem like treats or something, I guess. We use the kind of pill container you describe with my mother. The pills might indeed lose a little potency, but since it's only a week's worth, I can't imagine it's too great a loss. It is nearly the only way I can make sure she gets what she needs, given that there are 4 pills in the morning, her 5 vitamins/supplements at noon, and her followup meds (again 4) in the evening. Yes, I'm hopeful that my mother will continue in this agreeable way. She never *was* averse to taking pills, but sometimes, especially with me (as I'm her primary caregiver at this point), she can be verbally abusive and stubborn. Fortunately, I've not seen this in recent days, but when I head back to work next week, it's likely to arise again. Thanks for taking the time, Nina, to respond.
