What type of medication should never be crushed?

As a general rule, any medication that is in

an Extended Release form should not be crushed. These may be

labeled as XR, ER, XL, TR, or using other acronyms.

Enteric coated Aspirin, while not labeled as

extended release, is coated to provide protection against ulcers.

Crushing these tablets will stop this protection.

You must consult with your doctor before

crushing any tablets.
