If taking an extended release version of caffeine make sure not to crush or chew, only swallow whole. If taking a chewable form you may thoroughly chew and then swallow. Remember, when taking caffeine or any prescription drug to follow the label closely. Be sure to not take more than directed.

Caffeine should only be taken as instructed by your healthcare prescriber. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your healthcare prescriber first or unless instructed to do so.
