    As long as you take the medicine in your stomach, it will not affect the efficacy of the medicine.

    The effect of the medicine may not have any effect, but it will suppress the throat, so do not swallow the medicine raw, or take it with water.

    This will not affect the efficacy of the medicine, but some medicines are very bitter, and it may be unbearable to chew directly in the mouth.

    Probably not. In any case, in the end, the medicine is in the stomach, and it will be absorbed by the body in the end anyway, and I don't care if it is chewed by you.

    This practice does not affect the effect of the drug, but it will feel very choking, so it is recommended not to do it.

    It is recommended not to swallow.

    1. Chewable tablets are generally larger than oral tablets, and it is relatively difficult to swallow.

    2. Swallowing chewable tablets will cause incomplete disintegration and affect drug absorption, especially for gastric mucosal protective chewable tablets, if swallowed, the drug effect is difficult to play.

    3. Chewable tablets are unpalatable, and you can generally add a little sugar to correct the taste (except for drugs that avoid sugar, hehe, generally less), for the sake of efficacy, you have to endure it if it is unpleasant.

    Hope it helps.

    It is recommended that you do not use hot water when taking medicine, it is easy to make the tablets dissolve, it will be more sticky and the smell of medicine will be stronger, and it is best to take it with room temperature water. The easiest way should be to add a circle and medicine to the outside of the drug, and it will be good to swallow.

    I'm also the kind of person who is very afraid of taking medicine, teach you the easiest way: put the pills in your mouth, (you can eat them one by one is easier) try not to touch the tongue and throat, I let it against the teeth, so that you don't feel bitter, depending on you, just don't feel bitter, the most important step, put the pill in the mouth and immediately drink water and look up to let the pill slide down, I usually don't touch the throat so there is no taste like drinking water.

    Put the pill in the innermost part of your mouth to make your throat feel a little itchy, just drink some water and pull it, that is, speed.

    You can try to take the medicine with room temperature water, because warm water is easy to cause the drug to dissolve in advance, in addition to the faster the drug comes out, it may also increase the viscosity attached to the mouth and esophagus, increasing the difficulty of swallowing.

    This problem needs to be analyzed in specific situations, some of which will affect the efficacy of Western medicine, and most of which will affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine。Specifically, from the perspective of Western medicine, there is a sustained-release tablet or a controlled-release tablet in the pill, and the external structure of this Western medicine is specially prepared, which is completely different from the Western medicine we usually take. The outer packaging of sustained-release tablets is specially designed and developed to combat gastric acid, we all know that the digestion of gastric acid is very strong, and even belongs to the ranks of strong acids, most foods and drugs will be mixed with gastric acid when they come to the stomach after eating, and then dissolved by the acidic digestion of gastric acid, becoming very small particles for absorption.

    However, one of the pharmacological effects of sustained-release tablets is to slowly control the release of the active ingredients of the drug to achieve the purpose of long-term uninterrupted action.

    For example, diabetic patients should be very familiar with metformin, which is a common drug for diabetes, and there is a metformin sustained-release tablet on the market, one of its functions is to slowly control the release of metformin, maintain a relatively balanced blood concentration during the medication, and continue to release metformin within 24 hours a day, so that blood sugar can be controlled in a stable range without excessive fluctuations. Therefore, if you chew this kind of sustained-release tablets or controlled-release tablets when you eat them, it will destroy its external structure, then at this time, the sustained-release and controlled-release effects will almost be destroyed by you, and after you eat it, it is equivalent to eating ordinary drugs, and you will not be able to maintain a relatively stable blood concentration for a long time.

    For ordinary drugs, chewing in the mouth should not have much to do with it, and it will not affect the effect of the drug to a large extent. However, there is a disadvantage to eating like this, most of the drugs are actually more bitter, which will affect the feeling of eating. Therefore, when children do not know how to swallow the medicine, they often crush the medicine into powder and then make it into a powder and drink it, which is similar to if you chew it directly.

    For traditional Chinese medicine, there are some pills that are relatively large, and the doctor will recommend chewing them first when eating, so that these drugs become smaller, and when they enter the stomach, they can increase the contact area with gastric juice, so that it is easier to digest and absorb, and exert their medicinal effects.

    It does not affect the efficacy of the drug, as long as the medicine can be delivered to the stomach, it will work, of course, it is better to take it with water.

    This situation will not affect the efficacy of the drug, because even if the medicine is chewed slowly, it will eventually be eaten into the gastrointestinal tract, and then the gastrointestinal tract will absorb it, which will have a corresponding effect and will not affect its efficacy.

    It does not affect the effectiveness of the drug because the various organs of the body have their own way of working, and they will absorb the drug locally.

  17. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    It depends on what kind of pill you are taking, if it is an ordinary pill, if it is a slow-release pill, chewing it will have no sustained-release effect, the drug is released in large doses, the drug concentration is also unstable, and the effect will be very poor.

    No, the absorption of the drug is in the stomach and intestines, so even if the whole medicine is consumed, it can exert its effect.

    This is not necessarily, some drugs become broken after chewing, are easy to dissolve in water, easy to absorb, and the effect is better. (After chewing, the surface area of the drug increases, the dissolution rate accelerates, and the chemical reaction rate also accelerates, so the effect is better).

    However, some medicines should not be chewed because some medicines are covered with a protective film that prevents them from reacting with stomach acid (or other substances) inside the stomach (or elsewhere) and causing them to deteriorate.

    Not all medicines are more effective after chewing.

    Some of them can be absorbed faster if they are chewed and eaten, and some need to be absorbed smoothly, or even those that are slowly absorbed can not be chewed and eaten, and should be eaten whole, especially enteric-coated tablets, and some drugs are very bitter and not suitable for chewing and eating.
