Chewing Propecia

Hello Dr.

Do you have any opinions on chewing up Propecia vs swallowing it? Is it true if you chew it, there is better change of all getting absorbed? Or would chewing it somehow ruin in the inherent chemical makeup? Thanks.

Some medications are meant to be chewed, but if the medication is meant to be swallowed, I would swallow it as it is written in the instructions. Propecia is one of those medications that was meant to be swallowed. I really do not believe it would help with the absorption if you chewed it, plus, I don’t think it would taste all that great.
