Was talking to a friend who also takes ad cal and she said she chews them whereas I swallow them whole. Can you do it either way or should I be chewing them? Thanks

Look at the box - are they Adcal D3 chewable tablets?

If you’re not sure check, either the information paperwork or your pharmacy.

There are both chewable and non chewable so check. I take non chew ones and called caplets.

They do both versions. I found the ones to swallow were too big to swallow for me. I got the enormous chewable one’s upon request - mpossible to mistake them.

I struggle to digest them these days, started with ones to suck for years….progressed to caplets, now trying, on a good day, the ones that dissolve...but think most people start with ones to suck....

You swallow AdCal WHOLE? Are you on capsules? You wouldn't manage to swallow the chewables ;)

The caplets are a relatively new feature and probably cost more - though I don't know
