Can Vicodin Be Crushed And Administered To An Elderly Patient That Has Trouble Swallowing The Pill

Answer

Rather than crushing a pill and delivering it - which may deliver more at once than is intended - and is not recommended, think about trying the liquid form of vicodin called Hydrocodone-APAP solution. Check it out at the bottom of Vicodin images page on Health Central (url would not download - sorry!)
