My mom has difficulty swallowing pradaxa. often times the pill is half chewed before we get it down. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: This is a serious drug that interferes with coagulation. I feel it is very important that she talk over this problem with the physician who prescribed it. I also don't think it is wise to chew the tablet.
