Question
Posted on: September 24 2016Can Ledertrexate tablets be crushed to be processed in capsules?
Answer
I think it is not possible in a normally equipped pharmacy. Not feasible within the context of the Officina.
Dez Link describes the precautions to take : http://www.hse.gov.uk/healthservices/safe-use-cytotoxic-drugs.htm
Hospital Pharmacy in Bonheiden Maybe you want to help?
I note that the tablets contain 2.5 mg of methotrexate. I suppose these are small tablets. The age of the child is not mentioned but I would like to suggest the use of Gloup as an alternative for facilitating intake.
