Ive been prescribed doxy 1 l dr Forte capsules, but I cant seem to find them at any pharmacy. Is it okay if I take DOXT sl capsules as an alternative? I'm a bit worried about making a change without consulting someone first.

Typically, tablets are swallowed with water. However, some tablets, like sublingual or orally disintegrating tablets, are designed to melt in the mouth. Check the medication label or packaging insert for specific instructions. If unsure, consult your healthcare provider to avoid incorrect administration. Your doctor or pharmacist can provide personalized guidance.
