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.

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 effect does crushing have on solution rate?

Crushing sugar into smaller particulates INCREASES the rate at which the sugar will dissolve because the water can act on a larger overall surface area.


What type of weathering (physicalchemical) does crushing a tablet represent?

Crushing a tablet represents physical weathering because it involves breaking down the tablet into smaller pieces through a physical force, rather than a chemical reaction.

What effect does crushing a tablet have?

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 type of weathering physical or chemical just crushing a tablet represent?

Crushing a tablet primarily represents physical weathering, as it involves breaking down the tablet into smaller pieces through a physical force (crushing). Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of materials through chemical reactions rather than physical processes.
