Question about taking pills?

Question

Is it better to chew or swallow pills.

Answer 1

If it SAYS chew then CHEW! Otherwise, swallow pills as directed as chewing can adversely affect the desired results.

Besides, most pills taste AWFUL!

Answer 2

Both of them provide the same effectiveness. The only different is chew is suitable for children to avoid accident.

For the adult, you can choose either of them as you like

Answer 3

pills sometimes have protective coating on them which keeps it from burning or damaging your mouth or throat as it goes down . so unless it says chewable do not chew.

Answer 4

well if it tells you to swallow, then swallow.

my sister used to crush pills and swallow it all to get a faster, more intense high. i guess it all depends on what your goal is while taking the pills.  

Answer 5

swallow unless the pills specifically are chewable. otherwise too much medication can get into your bloodstream at once.
