Do I have to chew my BC?

I'm taking Minastrin 24 Fe and the package insert says to chew the pill and drink water but I looked up the package insert online and in the FAQ it says you can either chew or just swallow the pill whole. I wasn't sure which is correct since it's coming from the same place. Could one of you tell me if I must chew the pill or if I can just swallow it whole?

Hi smoore,

If the package directions said that either chewing or swallowing was fine, then you're safe doing either :)

Well the packing directions say to chew but I looked online on minastrin 24 fe website and I'm the frequently asked questions it says you can do either so I wasn't sure since it doesn't say you can swallow whole in the instructions.

If that information is coming from the people who make the pill, then you can think of that as an extension of the package directions, and assume it is correct.
