Ritalin 20mg - Water Spilled On The Pill. Will It Still Work? (Top voted first)

Updated

I didn't have time to take my Ritalin this morning so I put it in a napkin and shoved it in my purse as I walked out the door. Unfortunately my water spilled and got in contact with the pill. The napkin did nothing to protect it and the pill got wet, There was a small amount of dissolving that occurred, The imprint and mg can not be read, Will it still work?

They have worked for me when I spilled water like the graceful dove I am.

@Lucy,

From what I could gather, the 20mg tablets are considered to be water-soluble, but they should still work even if only part of it was disintegrated. At least it only happened with one pill and not the entire prescription.

In my opinion, the only real concern is that it may not be as effective since you wouldn't necessarily be taking a "full" tablet.

Hopefully this helps add a bit of reassurance to what Sarah already stated in her post.

Wouldn't it have been just as fast to take your meds?
