How should I take ascorbic acid?
Take ascorbic acid exactly as directed by your doctor or as directed on the package. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
 | Swallow each nonchewable dose (tablets and capsules) with a full glass of water. |
Chew the chewable forms of ascorbic acid well before swallowing.
 | Use a dropper, a dose-measuring spoon, or a dose-measuring cup to measure liquid doses of ascorbic acid. Shake suspensions well before measuring a dose. |
Measure and mix the powder and crystal forms of ascorbic acid as directed. Drink all of the mixture immediately after mixing.
Allow the lozenges to dissolve completely in your mouth.
 | Do not take more ascorbic acid than is prescribed for you or than is directed on the package. |
