A member asked:
Please advise if it's okay to crush up pills/tablets and take them with food/drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: As this very much depends on which medications you are referring to .. be aware most "long acting", "extended release" and "sustained release" medications cannot be crushed otherwise you will "negate" the slow controlled release.
