This section is designed to help you prescribe appropriately for patients with dysphagia and those with enteral feed tubes. In both instances basic guidance on what should be considered is provided.

Additionally for those patients where you have decided that crushing is the only option available for you to recommend we have provided information on different types of tablet, different coatings and modified formulations so that you can determine whether crushing may be appropriate or not.

Information on the effect of crushing in both clinical and legal terms is provided as well as information on other formulations which you may choose to prescribe instead.
