A member asked:

Can you crush prolisec delayed release otc tablets??? i was putting pill in a spoon with water and letting it dissolve in spoon do you think it would still work like that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Delayed release med: The delayed release meds are made to slowly release the med over a longer period of time. If the tablet or capsule is opened or crushed it will not release the med as smoothly or for as long. There will still be some benefit, but not as long an effect.
