My daughter was prescribed Singulair 5 for allergies. It is a chewable tablet and she HATES it. Is it ok to just swallow it with water instead of chewing it up? It says on the label to chew but what is the difference? Doesn't it all go to the same place anyway?

I'd call up a pharmacist, but I think it would be fine. The only reason they make them chewable is for kids who can't swallow pills. Also, you might want to ask the pharmacist if there is a 5 mg non-chewable tablet available.
