You should never chew any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, unless told to by a physician. Melatonin is not simply a "dietary supplement"; it contains ingredients that can affect the body in ways that prescribed medications can affect the body.

It's important to understand that ALL meds including herbal remedies use parts and extracts of plants-- this is true for prescription meds also. Herbal remedies are not studied by the FDA, though, and all of the potential effects are not known.

Chewing a tablet (prescription or over the counter or herbal) makes the dose enter the bloodstream much faster than the manufacturer intended. While some meds may only make you nauseated or sleep longer or faster, other meds could create a bleeding stomach ulcer, could slow respirations to dangerous lows, could make a person so sedated they wouldn't awaken during vomiting (leading to aspiration pneumonia or death), or -- the med's fast release could lead to death.
