Are you supposed to swallow birth control pills whole?


I know this is a dumb question im just a little paranoid about it. i want to make sure that its going to work!!

*the brand is Kariva*

Of course your supposed to swallow them whole. If you chewed on them it would leave a very very bad taste in your mouth. Most pills are meant to be swallowed whole unless otherwise stated.

yes they dissolve in your stomach easily because of the acid int here..try takign them with wate rnot swallowing them dry or something very sugary..
never ever take it with anything containing milk/dairy because it disables the hormones in the pill and its as if you missed your pill

They are supposed to be swallowed whole, but you can cut any pill, so long as there isn't jell inside. If your worried ask your doctor

Don't chew them, although I don't think that's what you mean.

i take birth control because i have a uterus problem, and I have to cut mine in half. Yes they are swallowed, I wouldn't suggest chewing them and there is nowhere else to put them...

what do you mean? do you chew them? you are supposed to swallow them whole. i think it releases hormones over time and when you chew if gives you the full strength all at once.

Take as directed but like with all pill's hun you simply swallow them whole, don't chew them or anything like that. Though most birth control doesn't actively start working for like a few weeks

of course-but use another source of birth control until you've been on it a month

Yes, your not supposed to crush or break them.

Well you don't chew 'em, that's for sure.

lol yes, you're supposed to swallow it whole

Yes, you should. If you chewed them up, I'm pretty sure it would taste like sh**
