Q: how do you take soft gels? with water like a normal tablet or without water by chewing?

: Softgel capsules should be swallowed like any other capsule or tablet. They should not be chewed. They are usually used for medications that do not lend themselves to tablets or traditional capsules because they are liquid or semi-liquid.
