Is it okay if i take my vitamin d pill by chewing it

my doctor prescribed me 4 vitamin d pills (because my vitamin d levels were really low) that i have to take once a week for a month. the vitamin d pill is small, oval shaped, green in color, and it is like a gel pill.
so far its been 2 weeks and i've taken two but on the label it says swallow whole, do not chew or crush. i'm scared to swallow pills so i've always have a habit of biting them or chewing them. Is it okay if instead of swallowing my pill as a whole, i'm chewing it? my doctor did say its a heavy dosage...would i be overdosing myself by biting into it?

There's no harm in dis-integrating a vitamin like that, so chew/break away at it. Some may correct me and point out that breaking or smashing it can affect absorption, but with something like that it is fine.

No, it is not OK. You must follow the directions on the label.
