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 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 difficulty swallowing tablets, it is important that you tell your doctor. There are alternative forms of medicine, such as sachets or mouth-dissolving tablets, that may be more appropriate in this situation. I enclose materials that may be interesting and information about the possibility of using teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-stosowac-tabletki-i-kapsulki
