Ok,If it is a pill,Chewable or not, you may swallow it and still have the same effect. I know my kids have tested it,They hate the taste of chewable meds!!

Normally chewable medicine is made for people who can't swallow pills. Because it is chewable it will dissolve easier and will have the same effect as if you had chewed it.

Chewing it releases the medicine into your system faster. It would still work if you swallow it. Just not as quickly.

It would probably decrease (slow down) its effectiveness. When you chew it, it breaks it open and the medicine is released quicker than if you swallow it and leave it up to your gastric juices to break it up.

you can, but the effects will take longer..when it says to chew, it means that it will get into your blood stream faster..
