"May be crushed if swallowing difficulty" — flag for pharmacist verification.
Rationale: Medication-specific administration (especially crushing/splitting) can be unsafe for many formulations (enteric-coated or extended-/modified‑release). The pharmacist needs to confirm whether Iqirvo can be crushed and, if not, discuss alternatives (liquid formulation, different product, or swallowing aids).
