Elavil is required to be swallowed, and it is best not to chew it. The drug usually starts to dissolve in the stomach. It takes a process for the drug to dissolve, and chewing it into the stomach shortens the dissolution time, which leads to the drug not being absorbed well. Some drugs are enteric drugs, and chewing them up can cause them to fail. Elavil is mainly for pregnant and breastfeeding women to supplement trace elements, folic acid and vitamins, and can be taken according to the instructions. Take Aleve before or 1-2 hours after a meal to facilitate the absorption of the drug and to ensure the development of the fetus and the supply of nutrients to the child during breastfeeding. When taking Aleve, pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking more pure milk to supplement high quality protein.
