Before allowing the pill to dissolve in your mouth, check with your pharmacists/chemist, to see if it is okay for the particular medicine you are taking to do so. Many pills/tablets are coated with a special coating, which will dissolve in the appropriate place in the intestinal tract and be correctly absorbed. Some medicines can be inactivated by the stomach’s gastric acids and are coated to allow them to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine. If your pharmacist/chemist says that the particular medicine you are taking will not be adversely affected, try grinding the pill up and mixing it will applesauce, pudding, etc. and take the medicine that way. Also ask if the medicine is available in liquid form.
