Types if tablets

Accepted Answer

Tablets are solid oral dosage forms that are used for various purposes, including medication, supplements, and personal care.

Tablets are one of the most common forms of medication.
They are made by compressing powdered ingredients into a solid form.
Tablets can be coated to make them easier to swallow and to protect the ingredients.
There are different types of tablets, such as immediate-release tablets, extended-release tablets, and chewable tablets.
Immediate-release tablets release the medication quickly into the body.
Extended-release tablets release the medication slowly over a longer period of time.
Chewable tablets are designed to be chewed and swallowed without water.
Effervescent tablets dissolve in water to create a fizzy solution.
Sublingual tablets are placed under the tongue and dissolve to deliver medication directly into the bloodstream.
Enteric-coated tablets have a special coating that prevents them from dissolving in the stomach and instead release the medication in the intestines.
Buccal tablets are placed between the cheek and gum and dissolve to deliver medication through the oral mucosa.
