Why
Amlodipine is an immediate-release tablet with no modified-release coating; it does not appear on the ISMP “Do Not Crush” list and FDA labeling contains no restriction against crushing.
What to ask the pharmacist instead
Ask the pharmacist whether an FDA-approved amlodipine oral liquid would be easier than crushing tablets.
