place them on the back of your tongue and take a reasonable amount of fluid in your mouth then swallow. Mine are capsules though. 150mg

i've been taking them for maybe 8 months+ now and you should feel nausious for the first week or so while taking them and that really sucks, but then you get used to it i suppse and yeah the side effects go away.
