I just found out that the Albendazole 400mg tablets I've been taking are supposed to be chewed, but I've been swallowing them whole. I'm on a 3-day treatment and have already done 2 daysdo you think swallowing them instead of chewing will affect how well they work? The doctor didn't mention this, but I read it on the back of the package.

I'm a bit confused about what "this11 after food" and "food101 after food" means when it comes to taking my meds. Is there a certain way I should be timing them around my meals?

They both mean the same thing essentially. 1 tablet to be taken after food in the morning and in the evening.

I recently finished an anti-rabies vaccine course back in September 2016, but today, on November 14, 2016, I got bitten again by my young dog on the lower lip. There's a small wound with some bleeding involved. The dogs just 5.5 months old and has all his vaccinations up to date. Do I need to get vaccinated again? What should I do now?
