what happens if you crush a tablet
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.

Ambien CR is a bi-phasic tablet; depending on the strength, 6.25 or 12.5 mg, one half of the tablet is released immediately and the other half is released over 3-4 hours. The half life of Ambien in the body allows this slow rate of release to delivery a steady state level of drug, not only putting you to sleep, but keeping you asleep. If you crush either tablet, it will be like taking a slightly stronger 25% tablet of regular immediate release Ambien. It is not recommended as this disrupts the release mechanism and if you have trouble staying asleep this will not help you.
Don't crush the tablet, place the whole tablet in a floater and let it dissolve gradually. Hatawa
Yes, you can. Immediate release pills consist of just the active ingredient and any buffers, spread out evenly through the pill, so crushing makes no difference to the pills contents. You cannot crush pills labeled extended release, sustained release, or enteric coated pills because they are formulated in a specific manner and crushing ruins the slow release mechanism.
Crush the tablet into smaller pieces will allow the solute to be accessed easily and therefor dissolving quicker.
