A member asked:

Does hydroxyzine work better, if it is chewed during a panic attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not recommended: Unless you have a specific formulation to be used as a chewable or administered under the tongue, most pills are meant to be swallowed. Chewing a hydralazine tablet is not recommended for use as a result.
