Definição e Significado de "chewable tablet"

What is a "chewable tablet"?

A chewable tablet is a type of medication that is designed to be chewed rather than swallowed whole. It is made to be easily broken down by chewing, allowing the medication to be absorbed through the lining of the mouth and throat before reaching the stomach. Chewable tablets are often used for medications such as vitamins, antacids, and certain over-the-counter medications for children or adults who have difficulty swallowing pills.
