Do you chew medicine?

Okay guys here I'm not talking about any food items that you chew or you gulp.

But

I am asking do you gulp your medicine or you chew it?😅

You're not supposed to chew most medications unless they specifically say they are chewable. You're supposed to swallow them and allow the medication to get into your system that way. Chewing could interfere with effective delivery.

@Wateribbon See a physical therapist for dysphagia/pseudodysphagia therapy. If you do not do that, you will not be getting the benefits from your medication that you must receive. TELL YOUR DOCTOR THE TRUTH, no matter how embarrassing it is.
