What is a "tablet"?
A tablet is a solid dosage form of medication that contains one or more active ingredients. Tablets typically come in various shapes, such as round, oval, or oblong, and they may or may not be marked with a line for splitting. They are designed to be swallowed whole and dissolve in the stomach, releasing the medication for absorption into the bloodstream. Tablets are commonly used to deliver a wide range of medications, including pain relievers, antibiotics, vitamins, and treatments for chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes.
