The manufacturing specification for FORVIA Tablets is for disintegration within 45 minutes in the test specified in the US Pharmacopeia, a manual of pharmaceutical testing methods and standards. Actual experience with batches to date indicates disintegration times in 20 to 35 minutes, and for most people the tablets will disintegrate completely before the stomach empties. Some individuals can have rapid transit times if there has been extensive bowel surgery or there is an ostomy in place. If rapid transit is a problem, we recommend taking FORVIA Tablets with a meal or snack (since food in the stomach tends to slow emptying time) as well as a glass of water or juice, or take new FORVIA Chewables.
