It will still be effective, however sometimes the coating on some medications help to slow down the absorbsion of the drug, therefore if you crush a tablet or open a capsule, you can have an increase in side effects (such as nausea, or irritation of the stomach lining).

Medications may be crushed or altered to enhance swallowing or taste, but never to disguise or "slip" them to a client/resident without his or her knowledge. The following written documentation must be in the client's/resident's file if the medication is to be crushed or altered: 1. A physician's order specifying the name and dosage of the medication to be crushed; 2. Verification of consultation with a pharmacist or physician that the medication can be safely crushed, identification of foods and liquids that can be mixed with the medications, and instructions for crushing or mixing medications; 3. A form consenting to crushing the medication signed by the client/resident. If the client/resident has a conservator with authority over his/her medical decisions, the consent form must be signed by that conservator.
