Oral tablets are solid forms of medication designed to be taken by mouth. They are typically made by compressing powdered ingredients into a specific shape and size. Once ingested, the tablet dissolves in the stomach or intestines, allowing the active ingredients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
These tablets can come in various types, including immediate-release and extended-release, which determine how quickly the medication is released into the body. Oral tablets are commonly used for a wide range of conditions, making them a popular choice for both prescription and over-the-counter medications.
