Tablets are solid preparations containing a single dose of one or more active ingredients with or without excipients and prepared by compressing uniform volumes of particles. Tablets are intended for oral administration. They are either swallowed, chewed, dissolved, or dispersed in water before administration. Tablets are generally prepared by three methods, namely dry granulation (slugging), wet granulation, and direct compression. Different types of tablets for oral use are compressed tablets, film-coated tablets, enteric-coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, buccal tablets, sublingual tablets, and chewable tablets.
