Tablets Ideal characteristics Tablets ideal characteristics are unique and they consists 1. Uniformity 2. Stability 3. Ease of Administration 4. Controlled Disintegration and Dissolution 5. Non-Toxic and Safe Excipients
Tablets Classification of tablets Tablets are classified in to several types based on : • Route of administration
Tablets I. Based on Route of administration They classified in to 4 types they are: 1. Tablets ingested orally 2. Chewable tablets 3. Tablets used to prepare solutions 4. Tablet ingested other route
Tablets 1.Tablets ingested orally a) compressed tablets b) Multiple compressed tablets or bilayer tablets c) Delayed released tablets d) Sugar coated tablets e) Film coated tablets
Tablets 2.Chewable tablets a) Buccal tablets b) Sublingual tablets c) Lozenges d) Dental cones
Tablets 3. Tablets used to prepare solutions a) Effervescent tablets b) Dispensing tablets c) Hypodermic tablets d) Tablet titurates
Tablets 4.Tablet ingested other route a) Implantation tablet b) Vaginal tablet’s
Tablets ingested orally Compressed tablets : prepared by compression of powdered crystalline or granular materials by the application of high pressure using punches & dye. Here rapid disintegration occurs which releases the drug rapidly eg: Paracetamol Multiple compressed tablets : These method is used when ingredients are physically or chemically incompatible eg: Aspirin Delayed released tablets : These kind of tablets are designed to release their medication at a specific time in the body. eg: Omeprazole Sugar coated tablets : these sugar coated tablets consists concentrated sugar solution coating used to improve patients acceptance and mask the unpleasant taste of drug and increase the stability. eg: Avir Tablets
Tablets ingested orally Film coated tablets : These tablets are coated with a thin layer of polymer material . Film coating also protects the tablets from atmospheric effects. e.g: Ibuprofen Chewable tablets : These tablets are designed to be chewed and then swallowed by the patient rather than swallowed. A soft and pleasant texture used for medications and supplements. It consists manitol, dextrose, along with active medicament. e.g: Acetaminophen
Tablets for oral cavity Buccal tablets : Placing a drug between gums and check to dissolve and absorb into blood. e.g: Corlan Sublingual administration : Placing the drug under the tongue.

Mainly used to prevent from microorganisms. e.g: acetaminophen
Tablets to prepare solutions Effervescent tablets : These tablets are dropped into water and reacts with water releasing carbon dioxide producing effervescence leading to disintegration. e.g: Eno Dispensing tablets : contain larger amount of highly potent API and it should be taken in packaging and labeling. These tablets are readily dispensed into liquids. Hypodermic tablets : These are readily soluble tablets in sterile water. These tablet consist with API. These are mainly used for parenteral routes. e.g: tablet triturates containing morphine sulfate Tablet triturate : these are cylindrical molded tablets. They usually contain a potent drug mixed with excipients like lactose, sucrose and other suitable diluents for preparing special moulds. e.g: Nitroglycerin tablets
Tablet given by other routes Implantation tablets : these are long acting sterile tablets which are designed to provide continuous release of medicament or drug for a month or year. Placed under the skin or inserted subcutaneous by means of minor surgical operation. e.g: levonorgestre Vaginal tablets : These are bullet shaped designed to dissolve slowly in the vaginal cavity.
