Please ask the same doctor who prescribed this. Normally when the doctor doesn't specify anything it means that you should swallow it as a whole.

Zentel 400-mg tablets should be swallowed whole with water, preferably with a meal. Chewing the tablet may cause a bitter taste in the mouth and may not provide the full dose of medication.
If you have already chewed the first tablet, it is okay, but for the second tablet, it is recommended that you swallow it whole with water. If you have any concerns or questions about how to take your medication, it's always best to consult with me for further advice.
