A member asked:
Can paxlovid pills be bitten down to smaller sizes and/or chewed? i know technically the guidelines say no, but what if you're unable to swallow the pills? i chew all my tylenol, as even they are too big to swallow; wondering if i can do same thing?

The package insert should be followed as directed. Discuss whether this is recommended with your Pharmacist. Many pills may be chewed or crushed and taken with pudding or applesauce. It is important to continue the medication and to avoid missed doses. Watch for signs of worsening infection, stay well hydrated and rest.
