Do you have to chew or swallow chemo pills?

Question

I have seen some that are very, very large with no break point.

That's exactly what's in the package. If you can't swallow them completely, ask the doctor what to do best.

For example, capecitabine (Chemo in tablet form) is to be swallowed unreduced:

Anyone who cannot swallow the chemo or can swallow it very hard should discuss it with the oncologist and, if necessary, switch to an iv-gab (infusion).
