you said ABSORPTION RATE is increased from chewing but this isn't the same thing as ABSORPTION QUANTITY right? what i am trying to ask is, when chewing or crushing and eating orals, is the amount of the drug actually absorbed larger than if you left the pill intact? or, is just the process of absorbing the pill faster when crushed? thanks.
