THE PILL TRAINING AID
Helping people swallow pills with confidence.
Pill swallowing is an essential life skill, yet many people find it difficult. Pilgo offers a gentle, confidence-building method to learn and master pill swallowing; supporting users of all ages, including those whose swallowing is affected by dysphagia.
The Pilgo Method: Place the pill on the internal grid, add water, tilt and drink normally. The pill is caught in the water flow, carried gently to the back of the throat and swallowed with ease. Because the pill remains suspended and does not touch the tongue directly, users avoid the sensation that triggers anxiety, hesitation or gagging.
Works for both small and large pills: Unlike competitors, Pilgo’s fine grid platform ensures even the smallest pills remain suspended and do not drop into the water.
No sticking, no fins, no frustration: The grid design avoids the pill sticking issues frequently reported with other pill cups, creating a smooth and reliable experience.

A training tool that solves the root cause of pill-swallowing fear
Many children and countless adults, cannot swallow tablets, not because of physical inability, but because of anxiety.
Most users develop confident, independent pill swallowing within three to twelve months.
Pilgo assists individuals who experience difficulty swallowing pills (including those with dysphagia), by helping guide medication more easily with water. Pilgo is not a cure for dysphagia.
Pilgo provides:
-
A gentler sensation than swallowing a pill alone
-
A controlled flow of water that carries the pill smoothly
-
Reduced risk of gag reflexes
-
Safe handling of both small and large medications
-
Unlike pill grinders — which can damage medication coatings and alter release profiles; Pilgo enables safe swallowing without modifying the medication.
