Intuniv is packaged as a time-released medication. That means the tablet must be intact, or the entire 24 hours worth of meds will dissolve very quickly -- you'll get a large dose of the meds right away, followed by 23 hours of no meds.

As with all time-released meds, you should not cut, chew, or crush an Intuniv tablet.
