Can methotrexate tablets be crushed?

Can methotrexate tablets be crushed? It is generally recommended to avoid crushing methotrexate tablets as this can create particles that are difficult to see and clean. To minimize the risks associated with handling the tablets and the powder resulting from crushing them, it would be better to opt for a liquid solution if a compounding pharmacy can provide one. This can help prevent contamination of surfaces with tablet residues and exposure of other family members to the medication.
