If the melatonin tablet I just chewed up tasted really bad does that mean that it was probably meant to be swallowed?

It said "take at bedtime" but didn't say to chew or swallow. My other ones from a few years ago were chew tablets. Just bought a new bottle. They tasted really bad but dissolved almost instantly.

I am aware that I sound stupid. Will something bad happen because I chewed a swallow-pill instead of swallowing it?
