Crushing tablets to make them easier to swallow, as many parents do for their children, could be dangerous or have unwanted side effects – their coatings often affect how the medication is absorbed into the body. The action could mean a large dose of a drug that should be released slowly or the drug leaving the system sooner than intended. Take drugs only as prescribed. * Always read the label.
