A member asked:

Started taking a quarter of a prozac tablet (5mg) per day (gradually building up) i accidentally chewed the pill before swallowing!!! what will happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing will happen: What you have done will do not harm at all. The Prozac will disperse in your system in the usual way and the effect will be the same.
