This method helps to safely swallow medical preparations without triggering the nausea reflex. To do this, you need to put the tablet in the middle of your tongue, take a sip of water and tilt your head forward, which allows you to avoid holding your breath and makes swallowing easier.

At the same time, tilting the head back can make it difficult to swallow the medicine, as the airways are blocked.

Doctors recommend swallowing a maximum of two tablets at a time, as a large number of tablets can increase the risk of choking. In addition, doctors advise always drinking tablets with water to speed up their absorption.
