Caps Drugs

When it comes to oral medication, both tablets and capsules are popular options. They both work by delivering a drug or supplement via your digestive tract for a specific purpose. Although tablets and capsules work in a similar way, they have some key differences, too. And cases, one form may be better suited for you than the other. Here’s a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each, how they differ, and tips for taking them safely. What is a tablet? Tablets are the most common type of pill. They’re an inexpensive, safe, and effective way to deliver oral medication. These units of medication are made by compressing one or more powdered ingredients to form a hard, solid, smooth-coated pill that breaks down in the digestive tract. In addition to active ingredients, most tablets contain additives that hold the pill together and improve the taste, texture, or appearance. Tablets can be round, oblong, or disc-shaped. Oblong tablets are caplets, which can be easier to swallow. Some have a line scored across the middle, making them easier to split in half. Some tablets have a special coating that prevents them from breaking down in the stomach.
