Why
Immediate-release memantine tablets do not appear on the ISMP “Do Not Crush” list (only Namenda XR does) and FDA labeling contains no restriction against crushing the IR tablet.
What to ask the pharmacist instead
Ask the pharmacist whether the FDA-approved memantine oral solution would be easier than crushing tablets.
