If you swallow a chewable medication whole, is it as effective?

yes, chewing helps ur digestive system break it down faster and thereby absorb it into the bloodstream faster. it will just take a little longer to 'get into' your system but its fine, no harm

I am fairly sure that you would have to swallow a bit more than just a little bit off your face before it will do any harm. They do say to keep out of reach of children, obviously so they don't eat it,  so if you are still concerned you should contact your poison information centre for some advice!

All of your problems can be side effects of wellbutrin. I am on wellbutrin and have similar problems. If your not sick anymore and want to continue taking the meds, chewing gum helps with the bad taste in the mouth.  Also taking them at different times of the day way decrease/increase side effects. I take mine before bed and sleep threw the worst part of symptoms.  Side effect usually decrease after you take them for awial.

It is dangerous in that it would damage the nasal/sinus cavities. Also, most probably your friend is NOT getting a larger dose as the pills that he is snorting are at most only 10% active drug, by weight, which means that 90% of inactive material is coating his nasal/sinus cavities. It would be a near-impossibility to recieve all 10% active material in a pill this way, which as you said, since he is not exceeding prescribed amounts, might only allow for a quicker onset of action, yet nothing that would be worth the damage to the cavities incurred. Due to this 10% active material to 90% inactive material ratio, your friend is really just cruding up his nose. He will receive a more consistent and readily absorbed amount of his prescription taking it orally as it is intended. Also, the other responses seemed to be in response to your friend hurting himself by taking too much, which you clearly stated he was not doing. It is highly probable that your friends prescribing doctor took the effects of Adderall (amphetamines, as you probably know) on the cardiovascular system into account when prescribing them.

Yes! It works great! You mix one part liquid benadryl with one part Maylox or some other type of thick anti-acid and use it to gargle with. It numbs the throat. Just be sure to not swallow and spit it out!

Gum is eliminated as human waste in the same way — and at the same rate — as any other swallowed matter. Granted, it comes out the far end relatively unchanged by the trip, but it does come out on schedule.

No, it falls apart and you might swallow some. Buy Dr. George's Tooth Whitening system at any Walgreens.

what do you mean by the ideal coating efficiency? If you mean that makes the tablet more slippery and easier to swallow, I don't know. If you mean which coating increases teh absorbtion rate or provides the best coating for the maximum effect of teh tablet's medication, then that depends on what the medicine is and whqat it's side effects are. For example the ideal coating for something that irritates the lining of the stomach is one that slows the dissoltion until the tablet reaches a more compatible area of the GI tract.

I think you can take them all at once, it should not matter.  Try it and if it upsets your stomach spread them out. May try eating something before taking them first.

Saliva helps to masticate food and adds fluid so swallowing is easier.  It contains amylase which begins assisting in chemical break down of starches.\n\nOur body, serum has a pH of 7.40 +/- 0.02.  Only under extreme circumstances would our body pH deviate beyond the variance above.  Eating would not change it.  \n\nSwallowing a whole bottle of aspirin might, though (aspirin is an acid).  The kidneys and our respiration system would work very hard to get it back to normal as soon as possible.
