Sustained-release drugs should not be crushed or dissolved as it would disrupt their intended slow release, alter their form to liquid drugs, and impact their physical stability.
Sustained-release drugs should never be crushed or dissolved because it would negate their sustained-release action. When sustained-release drugs are altered, the intended slow and controlled release of the medication into the body is disrupted, affecting its effectiveness.
By crushing or dissolving sustained-release drugs, they become liquid drugs, which can lead to unintended consequences such as altered absorption rates or potential overdose due to the rapid release of the entire dose.
Additionally, altering sustained-release drugs can impact the physical stability of the medication, potentially causing drug-drug interactions or reducing the drug's bioavailability.
