Crushing Medication

 Hi everyone I am 11 days out and was
 wondering how long you have to crush medications for.....or is it forever?
I am trying to quit smoking and Ziban was working great but I haven't been able to take
it since my surgery (not supposed to crush) It is about the same size as a regular tylenol.

Thanks for any input

My doc said we just had to cut in half. 

I take Diovan for my blood pressure and it is the same size as Tylenol.  My doctor's nurse told me I could take it whole.

I have my surgery on the 30th and today was my preop and I take Diovan.  She said to take a pill cutter, I brought my pills in with me so she could see size.  also said to cut pils and they digest ok even with liquids.  but ambian cr was not going to work because of controlled release.

anyone else on ambien cr and what did your dr say?

I take the ambien cr and had my pcp change it to ambien 10mg the reg ambiem/ I had lap band sept 18. It seems to be just as effective. Hope this helps.

I had RNY last week and I can swallow all of my pills whole.  The only thing I can't take is anything time released because it will not absorb.  You may want to check on that med and if it is time released.

Good for you quiting smoking!!!!!

That is the best thing you can do for yourself!
