 Hello, It's generally safe to crush/chew HIV medications (tablet forms), provided that you're not taking sustained release formulations, like the new Viramune XR. Capsules can't be crushed. An alternative is to take your medications with something like applesauce. This helps the swallowing for some. Be well, BY | ||||||||
