Tablets are solid dosage forms containing medicinal ingredients with or without excipients. There are various types of tablets including sublingual, lozenges, effervescent, and hypodermic. Tablets are manufactured through methods such as wet granulation, dry granulation, and direct compression. Tablets offer advantages like accurate dosing, low cost, and masking of bitter tastes, but also have disadvantages like difficulty swallowing and issues with bioavailability. Quality control tests for tablets check attributes like weight, content uniformity, thickness, hardness, and disintegration time.
