I haven't had trouble swallowing pills, so I don't how helpful this is, but it's something that still made it easier for me: I used to try to swallow the pill by just pushing it with water on an initially empty throat. Once I started swallowing the water first, then letting the pill ride between gulps in the stream's momentum, it became more comfortable and automatic.

I haven't had to take one in a while but I'll probably try this or simply try without water next time.
