I am not able to take medicine (tablets or capsules) in solid form I had tried so many times to take medicine in. Solid form. But always the I failed. finally I use to crush a tablet and then take it I know it is not safe but doctor advice me to take medicine in solid form because liquid form medicine cannot work efficiently for my age (18 years) so what can I do please tell me.

There is no such thing... You can crush it and take it. It works the same.

Do not worry, break the tablets into 4 pieces (pill cutters are availnbale in teh amrket) and consume. As for capsules, they will be easier to swallow and you cannot break them. However you may find ubstitutes for the capsule in a tablet form.
