hey i know im a few days late replying! but DONT CRUSH! when i was in hospital when i was prescribed them i asked if i could break it in half cause there hard to swallow, i was told not to because it could cause iritation in my stomach, so im guessing crushing it would be ten times worse! hope im not too late
