Actually, dissolving it on your tongue is probably the most beneficial way to get the medication. The mouth has so many pores in it, that it sends the medicine to the body much quicker. The tongue is vascular (its a muscle), so things that come in contact with it can go directly into the blood stream.
That is the whole concept behind lozenges. Now having said that, if the medicine you were given or prescribed is not a lozenge, then you need to swallow it according to the directions.

You can take it as per body weight but it is better to enroll and get treated under rntcp. Besides supervised treatment, you will get other benefits.
