Generally no: Opening capsules and crushing the contents may not be ideal as most medications are time-released and removing them from a capsule and crushing the contents will likely alter the pharmacokinetics (how the medications works in you body) of the drug. Try coating the capsule with peanut butter (as long as not allergic), putting it on the front of the tongue and drink plenty of water to wash it down.
