Your best bet is to consult your pharmacist. It is a rare doctor who understands drugs overall. The printout given to you at the time you fill the prescription usually has information about cutting or crushing a dosage form.

There is information on the net, like this:
Mestinon Timespan (pyridostigmine) medical facts from Drugs.com

It is easier to find information using the brand name most times.

If a brand name drops its patent, the generic may not be exactly the same after that when made.
