Is it possible to crush Avamina 1000 mg tablets?

Good morning. Is it possible to crush tablets, e.g. avamine 1000 (not SR)? They have a groove to divide, so you can definitely divide.

If you are unable to swallow the tablets whole, then Avamina tablets can be crushed or divided. However, please pay attention not to lose the fragments of the tablet during crushing, but to take its entire dose. Some specialists, however, are of the opinion that the crushed preparation may not be absorbed as it should. The tablet is designed to reach the stomach, and sometimes further to the intestines and release the substance there to be absorbed. Crushing the tablets, we lead to a situation that part of the active substance settles for some time in the throat and esophagus. It is also treated longer with hydrochloric acid from the stomach and digestive enzymes. It follows that such a procedure may affect the absorption and effective action of the preparation. Not all drugs can be divided or crushed to obtain a specific, prescribed dose. It does not divide m.in gastro-resistant tablets and those that have SR, XR, MR in the name (unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise). Film-coated tablets and capsules are also not shared. By dividing these drugs, we can deactivate them or reduce their effectiveness.
