Answer:

Your saliva helps to begin the pill to break down before it even enters your stomach therefore it’s quicker as stomach does not have to break down the whole pill

Answer: if you take the chewable pill by the time it gets to your stomach its would be already dissolved, other pills that are enclosed when it reaches your stomach then it dissolves so chewable tablets are fast acting.
