Let others know if this answer was helpful
Thyroid tablets are usually meant to be swallowed whole with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, since crushing or chewing can change how much actually gets absorbed and make your dose less predictable over time.
Next Steps
Try taking it with a larger sip of water, or letting it sit on your tongue a moment before swallowing. If it stays hard to manage, ask your physician or endocrinologist about a smaller tablet size or a liquid formulation instead.
Health Tips
Please don't start crushing it on your own without checking first, since that can make your thyroid levels swing unpredictably.
