                                                     Text A. Tablets

The tablet is the most common form of medication in a dry state. Tablets have a great variety of shapes and sizes. The most common shape is a circular body with flat or slightly convex sides. There are also rectangular, triangular and many other shapes. The selection of particular shapes and sizes of the tablets is essentially ethical. A pleasing appearance of the tablets is very important for a patient. There are a number of features which are helpful for better use. Tablets which are to be dissolved as quickly as possible are thin. They are for making solutions. These tablets have a large diameter than average tablets of the same weight. Tablets which are to be dissolved slowly in the mouth are flat for convenience of the user and thick enough to have a lasting effect. Efficiency of the tablet depends on these peculiarities. Coated tablets have convex shape and they are harder than other tablets.

Tablets have a variety of action. Anti-inflammatory drugs are used in the treatment of various infections. Antibiotics compose a large group. Sulfa drugs are also in majority. In addition, there are cardiacs, sedatives, laxatives, analgetics. Cardiacs include drugs that affect the heart, drugs that affect blood pressure, and drugs that prevent blood clotting. Analgetics are also called pain-killers. Sleeping pills make a separate group of tablets. Narcotics are drugs which in moderate doses can suppress the central nervous system and relieve pain. Central nervous system drugs are of two main types: those which stimulate the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, stimulants, and those which depress the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, depressants.

One should remember that all tablets must be taken only according to the doctor’s recommendations.
