Chewing an antacid tablet allows it to break down more quickly and mix with saliva, facilitating faster relief from heartburn or indigestion. This enhances the tablet's effectiveness, as the active ingredients can neutralize stomach acid more efficiently. Additionally, chewing helps ensure even distribution of the antacid throughout the stomach when swallowed. Swallowing it whole may delay its action and reduce its effectiveness.
