These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets prior to use to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Always ask your doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct administration.
