• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's OK to crush sugar coated tablets?

I have like 15g of Amitriptyline tablets, but they are red sugar coated.

I would imagine it won't make any difference as the sugar coating is purely there to make them more palatable and easier to swallow.

Amitriptyline itself is absorbed by the stomach and small intestine, so I don't think crushing them will impact how they are absorbed.

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

The only tablets that cannot be crushed are enteric coated. Sugar coating does not make a difference.

Thanks for that. All my meds are either film coated or sugar coated. None of them are enteric coated.
