If you swallow a TUMS whole it wil do exactly the same thing as if you were to chew on it to make it dissolve. It will begin to dissolve as soon as it touches your saliva and will continue to dissolve all the way down your throat and into your stomach.

Generally, you are supposed to swallow a tablet whole. It depends on the particular dosing instructions. If you are concerned, you should talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
