Can I crush Mebevit b-complex and Aspargin tablets?

Good morning, I have prescribed supplements mebevit b-complex and aspargin. Can I crush these pills? Unfortunately, I have a problem with swallowing tablets. From what I've read, aspargin probably can, and how does it look with the vit B complex?

If you are not able to swallow the tablets whole, then yes - they 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. If you have trouble swallowing tablets, it is worth talking to your doctor or pharmacist at the pharmacy. They may suggest more convenient forms of supplementation, such as effervescent tablets, syrups or small capsules that will be easier to swallow, e.g.: Plusssz contraction-complex: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/104389/plusssz-100-skurcz-complex-magnez-potas-witaminy-z-grupy-b-tabletki-musujace/apteki Vitaminum B compositum: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/83177/vitaminum-b-compositum-polfa-drazetki/apteki?pvid=59952#internetowe
