Some, yes. Others are coated for time release or safety.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for specific information.
You get the solution faster than uncrushed tablet. At times a patient can not swallow the tablet and crush it before swallowing. But it is is not recommended to crush the tablets. That is problematic in case of delayed or sustained release tablets as well as for enteric coated tablets. You have the disturbed phrmacokinetics or the drug may get destroyed by acid in the stomach.

Was it down with water or crush it in the water before you take it so it doesn't taste as bad.
Crushing tablets can alter their intended release properties, leading to undesired effects or reduced efficacy. Some tablets are designed to be taken whole to prevent irritation to the stomach lining or to control the rate of absorption. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before altering how medication is taken.
Generally, when people want to shoot up oxycodone, they will crush and dissolve the tablets in water, creating a solution that can be intravenously injected.
I don't suggest crushing or chewing Ranitidine (Zantac) it will not make them work any faster. If it's the effervescent tablets follow the instructions below. The 25mg Zantac effervescent tablets should dissolved in 1teaspoon of water. The 150mg Zantac effervescent tablets should be dissolved in 6-8ounces of water. *make sure you mix it well & it's all dissolved before consuming*
