can you use crushed oral minoxidil?

i cut my 5mg into fourths where i get small pieces, i put it in my mouth and thought i swallowed it and closed my mouth but ended up crushing the pill a little because it was still in my mouth and then fully finished swallowing it, is this okay?

Demez,

Ultimately, the medication that serves the function of stopping hair loss and/or regrowing hair is inside the tablet. Resemble, whether you take the pill whole, crushed or cut into fourths, your body has to break down the outside coding in order for the medication to be released. Thus, The fact that the pill may have broke in your mouth while taking it isn’t going to be a problem.

where this becomes a possible issue is four pills on a timed release. But time release pills are typically very difficult to cut or break with her teeth for that very reason. So I don’t think that’s an issue here. I imagine the minoxidil you were taking is fast release in which case, breaking the pill isn’t going to be much different than taking it whole.

I hope this helps.
