That's not listed as a common side effect of the medication.

However, if he's letting it sit on his tongue for a few seconds, before swallowing it down, then it may be starting to dissolve, which could explain the issue. In that case, he needs to place it as far back in his mouth as he can, towards or in his throat and swallow it immediately with a full glass of water.

Alternatively, it can cause dry mouth as a side effect, so that could also be causing the issue. In which case, increasing his fluid intake should help the problem.
How does he usually take it?
