[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2462941, member: 223921"] Can metformin oral tablets be chewed, crushed, or split? You may crush or split immediate-release metformin tablets. But you should never break, crush, or chew extended-release metformin tablets. This is because breaking, crushing, or chewing the tablets changes the way they work in your body. If you’re having trouble swallowing the tablets, talk with your doctor. They may recommend taking a different medication or using the liquid form of metformin that’s taken by mouth. [URL]https://www.healthline.com/health/drugs/metformin-oral-tablet#how-to-take[/URL] So crushing them into yogurt or ice cream would work it's what I used to do with my pyridostigmine as with MG swallowing has always been a problem.
