I take two capsules every 4hrs. I'm not sure how often to take the chewables.  Check with your dr to make sure it's gas pains though

I took a chewable tab around 3 hours ago and the pain is even more intense now that I've eaten and taken my prenatal vitamin . Should I take another ? I'm not sure how they work :(
