  1. 1Tablets are popular because:
    - The oral route is convenient and relatively [blank_start]safe[blank_end] (high compliance – at least with adults)
    - They are more chemically, physically and microbially [blank_start]stable[blank_end] than liquid dosage forms
    - Accurate [blank_start]dosing[blank_end] of the drug is easily achieved
    - They are easy to [blank_start]handle and transport[blank_end]
    - Tablets can be prepared in different ways to [blank_start]manipulate the release[blank_end] of the drug
    - They are relatively [blank_start]easy and cheap[blank_end] to produce
    1. Asafe
    2. Bstable
    3. Cdosing
    4. Dhandle and transport
    5. Emanipulate the release
    6. Feasy and cheap
  2. 2Tablets can be taken orally in the oral cavity or to be ingested, as well as used to prepare a solution, or taken via other routes. Tablets ingested orally include the compressed tablet, [blank_start]multiple[blank_end] compressed tablet, [blank_start]delayed[blank_end] release tablet, [blank_start]sugar[blank_end] coated tablet, film [blank_start]coated[blank_end] tablet, and [blank_start]chewable[blank_end] tablet. Tablets used in the oral cavity include buccal tablets, [blank_start]sublingual[blank_end] tablets, lozenges and dental cones. Tablets administered by other routes include [blank_start]implantation[blank_end] tablets and vaginal tablets, and tablets used to prepare solutions are [blank_start]effervescent[blank_end] tablets.

    3. Csugar
    4. Dcoated
    5. Echewable
    6. Fsublingual
    7. Gimplantation
    8. Heffervescent
  3. 3Chewable tablets are always [blank_start]very big[blank_end] – >1.5 g. This is deliberate to [blank_start]stop[blank_end] people swallowing the tablets whole, as they must be mechanically [blank_start]disintegrated[blank_end] in the mouth. They [blank_start]do not[blank_end] contain their own disintegrant.
    They do contain [blank_start]sorbitol or mannitol[blank_end] as fillers. The drug is not dissolved in the mouth but swallowed and [blank_start]dissolved[blank_end] in the intestine. e.g., antacids.

    4. DBuccal, sublingual, and compressed lozenges avoid first pass metabolism.
  5. 5Effervescent tablets are very [blank_start]big[blank_end] to prevent swallowing. Carbon dioxide is produced by a reaction in water between a [blank_start]carbonate or bicarbonate[blank_end] and a weak acid such as [blank_start]citric or tartaric[blank_end] acid. They contain water soluble [blank_start]lubricant[blank_end] and no [blank_start]binder[blank_end].
    1. Acarbonate or bicarbonate
    2. Bcitric or tartaric
    3. Cbig
    4. Dlubricant
