Splitting Tamoxifen Tablet - IMPORTANT INFO!!!!!

Potential Consequences of Splitting, Crushing and Opening

Crushing products with carcinogenic (e.g. tamoxifen; methotrexate) or teratogenic (e.g. valganciclovir) potential may expose carers or healthcare professionals to health risks through powder aerosolisation and as such should not be undertaken. Similarly, preparations containing hormones (oral contraceptives; hormonal replacement therapy), corticosteroids (such as dexamethasone) and some other drugs (finasteride; mycophenolate) should not be crushed due to the risks associated with powder aerosolisation.3-6 It should be noted that the effects of many other drugs when inhaled are largely unknown.

In addition several drug substances may also cause irritation if the powder is aerosolised and inhaled or comes into contact with the eyes, skin, or other mucous membranes e.g. alendronate, diflunisal, isotretinoin, piroxicam. Ganciclovir is known to be a skin irritant, and exposing the skin to hydroxycarbamide powder can cause serious skin toxicity.
