The major reason for not crushing a sustained release capsule is that, if crushed, the coated beads of the
drugs could possibly result in:
o Disintegration
o Toxicity
o Malabsorption
o Deterioration - ANSo Toxicity
Drugs that have a significant first pass effect:
o Must be given by enteral (oral) route only
o Bypass the hepatic circulation
o Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
o Are converted by the liver to more active in fat-soluble forms - ANSo Are rapidly metabolized by the
