Best Answer

Some pills have special coatings that control the rate of release of the active ingredient, chewing or crushing such pills breaks this coating and can cause an excessively high dose when the pill is taken and an excessively low dose later.

Other pills have very bad flavor and have a coating that prevents the release of the medication until the pill has been swallowed and can no longer be tasted.
