Some tablets are coated or designed for slow release, so crushing them can change how the medicine is absorbed or irritate the stomach. It isn't safe to assume every tablet can be crushed.
Next Steps
Please check with your pharmacist or the doctor who prescribed it specifically about this tablet. If crushing isn't advised, ask whether a liquid or dispersible alternative is available, since difficulty swallowing tablets is common and usually has a workaround.
Health Tips
Don't start crushing tablets on your own, since it can also affect how well medicines for other conditions work.
