Most nutraceuticals like Follihair are not coated so they can usually be cut into halves and taken without compromising on its effectiveness. Since you are having issues with swallowing it, breaking it will make it easier to swallow and the nutrients will still get absorbed in the body. However, use a clean tablet cutter to break it.
If you still face problems with swallowing it, you can:
- Take the halves of the tablet with plenty of water.
- Ask your doctor or pharmacist to give you a smaller form of tablet if available, as some brands do have alternatives.
- You can also try taking it with soft foods like curd or a smoothie to make it easier to swallow.

Yes, you can break or crush Follihair tablets and take them with water, curd, dal, or smoothies, as it won’t affect absorption. But it’s best to confirm once with your doctor/dietitian. ✅

Follihair tablet are usually large and can be hard to swallow.
Follihair is a nutritional supplement, not a special coated or sustained -release medicine
It can generally be cut, broken or even crushed and taken with water or water mixed in soft foods like curd Dal , or smoothies
This does not affect its absorption
