Will the chewed Imupret tablet work correctly?

Good morning, Daughter 6.5 years got to use imupret in tablets 2 x a day. The allergist told the child to chew the pill. In the leaflet it is written not to chew and when I asked about the drops she said that they have alcohol and will not give it to the child. The daughter will not swallow the pill because she is afraid. Will such a chewed pill work? Is this coating in the tablet safe after chewing?

Imupret is a herbal preparation used as a means of strengthening the body's immunity. Drops were registered over 2 years of age. You can safely administer drops if your child cannot swallow the pills. According to the leaflet of Imupret tablets, the preparation should not be chewed, but swallowed whole. Chewing the tablets may affect their effectiveness, as the active substances of the preparation may be destroyed by the action of saliva and stomach acid. In addition, the tablet coating is designed to protect the active substances from the influence of the stomach and allow their release in the right place in the digestive tract. There is no certainty that a chewed tablet will work in the same way as a tablet swallowed whole. Due to the alcohol content of Imupretu in drops, caution should be exercised in people at risk, m.in. people with alcoholism, pregnant women, nursing mothers, people with epilepsy or liver disease. A single dose used in children aged 2 to 5 years (10 drops) contains approx. 80 mg of ethanol. A single dose used in children aged 6 to 11 years (10 drops) contains approx. 120 mg ethanol. If, according to the allergist, Imupret drops are not suitable in this case, you can always ask for alternative preparations without alcohol. If you are unable to get to your allergist doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose a link to a page where you can compare the prices of Imupret in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the nearest stationary pharmacy: Imupret N drops: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/94700/imupret-n-krople/apteki?pvid=238201#internetowe Imupret N tablets: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/95856/imupret-drazetki/apteki?pvid=240803&src=product_similar
