omg soo much pain :(
You have to be very careful about breaking tablets for easy swallowing. Some tablets are coated with a special coating that protects them from the acid in your stomach. The acid might destroy the effectiveness of the tablet. Another reason not to crush tablets is that some tablets have a special formulation that makes them act over a specific period of time/or releases the active substances at different stages and by breaking them, this effect is destroyed too. There are different ways of trying to swallow tablets - try putting it as far back on your tongue as you can before taking a drink of water. Another way is to fill your mouth with water while the tablet is in there, get the tablet floating and quickly swallow the lot. Hope this helps.
