Crushing tablets A crushing syringe is preferred for medicines where you must avoid environmental contamination and exposure of a carer (e.g. cytotoxics). Only crush medicines one at a time; do not crush all the patient's medicines together. Crushing should be performed immediately before administration.

Enteric Coated Preparations Crushing enteric coated tablets may result in the drug being released too early, destroyed by stomach acid, or irritating the stomach lining. In general, manipulation of enteric coated and extended-release formulations is not, therefore, recommended.

Enteric coated medicines Crushing enteric coatings may result in the drug being released too early, being destroyed by stomach acid, or irritating the stomach lining. Examples: Diclofenac e/c. Naproxen e/c.

Some medicines should not be crushed because this will alter the absorption or stability of the medicine or it may cause a local irritant effect or unacceptable taste. Sometimes the exposure of powder from crushing medicines may cause occupational health and safety risks to staff.

Drugs that should not be crushed are those that are: Designed to be controlled release. Coated for protection or taste. Dissolvable. Liquid-filled gel capsules. Hazardous or irritants. Intended for a small therapeutic window.

Do not crush your tablets or open capsules unless a Pharmacist or Doctor has advised you that it is safe and appropriate to do so. Instead: Go and see your doctor or nurse who will be able to prescribe your medicine in a form that is more appropriate for you, such as a liquid medication.
