Can there be any negative effects if you chop up those orange motrin pills and mix with water then take it?

Don't: Medication has a "coating" for a reason. Concerning otc or prescriptive medication, unless the directions say "chew" you should not chew or crush any medication. Always take your medication as directed by your doctor or label.
