A member asked:
Can i crush midol or advil (ibuprofen) put it in water and drink it to relieve menstrual cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can: Crushing the tablet to mix in water and then drinking it rather than swallowing the pill only mildly alters the actual efficacy due to the loss of protective coating which extends the absorption to maximize physiological response from its absorption starting in the stomach.
