Does all tablet medicines have a liquid version aswell?

Speak to your doctor, or pharmacist about an alternative. Not all drugs can be suspended in liquid form, and not all drugs can be made into tablets (e.g. some anti-biotics). What you mustn’t do however, is crush any form of tablet and then take it. Drugs are manufactured in a certain way to release their active ingredient in the manner that the manufacturer has intended. Crushing drugs interferes with this, and is particularly important with cardiac drugs. Some are long acting, and have a long release time, so if you crush them you’ll get a massive hit of the drug immediately, and not over a prolonged period. Good luck.
