A member asked:
Can i crush 2 500mg tablets of sustained release zithromax and put it in a fruit smoothie and drink it? i have a hard time swallowing large pills.

Nope.: I would not crush it, as you are changing how available the medication is in your system... more may be introduced into your bloodstream at one time than through gradual digestion. Consider liquid versions of the antibiotics if swallowing is difficult.
