Tablets

 A tablet is a solid form of medicine that is swallowed with water. Tablets contain one or more active ingredients that treat or prevent disease.

Common types of tablets include:

Standard tablets – swallowed whole.

Chewable tablets – chewed before swallowing.

Dispersible/Soluble tablets – dissolved in water before taking.

Effervescent tablets – dissolved in water and fizz before drinking.

Enteric-coated tablets – have a special coating to protect the medicine from stomach acid; they should not be crushed or chewed.

Modified-release (extended-release) tablets – release the medicine slowly over time and should usually be swallowed whole.

General tips:

Take tablets exactly as prescribed or according to the label.

Swallow them with a full glass of water unless instructed otherwise.

Do not crush or split tablets unless a healthcare professional or the instructions say it is safe.

If you were referring to Prednisolone tablets or another specific medicine, let me know the name and strength (for example, 5 mg or 20 mg), and I'll explain that medication in more detail.
