Some melatonin comes in a chewable or sublingual form, but it will state it on the label. Anyhow, the one you took is probably meant to be swallowed. Nothing to worry about however. When you swallow a tablet, your stomach will break it down and usually the tablet takes a while to affect you (slow release). Assuming you chewed the tablet, the absorption rate is faster, thus the melatonin will enter the blood stream quicker. This equates to faster acting results. I hope this is helpful.
