Crushing a tablet can alter its intended release mechanism, potentially leading to faster absorption and increased effects, which may not be safe or effective. It can also affect the taste and make it difficult to ensure accurate dosing. Some tablets are designed with specific coatings or formulations that protect the stomach or provide extended release, which can be compromised by crushing. Always consult a healthcare professional before altering how a medication is taken.

What effect does crushing a tablet have on solution rate?
Crushing a tablet increases its surface area, which can lead to a faster dissolution rate in a solution because more of the tablet is exposed to the solvent. This can result in quicker absorption in the body due to a higher surface area available for interaction with the digestive fluids.
What type of weathering (physicalchemical) does crushing a tablet represent?
