Uncoated tablets are solid dosage forms that contain active ingredients and excipients without any outer coating. They are typically made by compressing powdered substances into a specific shape and size. Uncoated tablets dissolve in the stomach, allowing for the quick release of the medication into the bloodstream. These tablets are often used for various medications, including pain relievers, antibiotics, and vitamins. Because they lack a coating, uncoated tablets may have a more bitter taste and can be more susceptible to moisture. They are generally easier to manufacture and can be produced at a lower cost compared to coated tablets.
