Metformin tablets can be crushed or dissolved, but it is important to consult a healthcare provider before doing so. Crushing or dissolving the medication may alter its effectiveness or lead to side effects. Extended-release formulations, in particular, should not be crushed, as this can lead to a rapid release of the drug and increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding medication administration.

Is metformin er the same as metformin hcl?

Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin HCl (hydrochloride) are not exactly the same. Metformin HCl is the active ingredient in both formulations, but Metformin ER is designed to release the medication slowly over time to help maintain consistent blood levels. This allows for once-daily dosing compared to immediate-release metformin, which is typically taken multiple times a day.

How do you re-rock?

It depends on whether it was dissolved in water or just crushed up. If it was dissolved in water, it should re-crystalize as the water evaporates. If it was crushed up, aside from dissolving it in water and waiting for it to evaporate off, or melting it in a glass pipe and letting it recrystalize, there's no other way that I can think of to return it to its rock form.
