A member asked:
I ate an airborne effervescent tablet without water. should i be concerned as it should have been taken with 4-6 oz. of water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You will likely be fine. If the tablet became lodged in your esophagus it could cause some irritation, but likely it went straight to your stomach where there is ample liquid to dissolve it. Taking it this way may also make you belch.
