Is it safe to crush and give multiple prescribed medications?including ATT, Linid, Modalert, Benadon, Ecospirin AV, Cobadex CZS, Omnacortil, Citimac P, Rablet, Levera, and Epsilon?all at the same time through a feeding tube for my father who is recovering at home from tuberculosis meningitis, given that these medicines are scheduled for once a day, twice a day, and three times a day?
For his safety, please do not crush and administer all these medications together. Mixing drugs like ATT, Linid, Ecospirin AV, and Omnacortil at once can cause interactions, alter how they work, or clog his feeding tube. Furthermore, some tablets, especially Ecospirin AV, should not be crushed, and medicines scheduled for different times must be spaced out. It is best to give each medication individually, flushing the tube with water before and after. Please consult his physician or pharmacist to establish a safe, daily tube-feeding schedule.
