I've been dealing with a sore throat and cough, and I've already tried taking Alex and Moxikind, but it hasn't gotten any better, and it's been a whole week now. Could you recommend another medicine or treatment option that might help? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

I'm a bit confused about how to take celine 500 mg tablets. Should I be taking them with water or can I chew them? And is it better to take them before or after a meal? Would really appreciate some advice on this!

Celine 500 mg tablet should be taken with a full glass of water, either with or without food. It is not a chewable or dispersible tablet.
