They may be used for local action in gastro-intestinal tract or
systemic action. When the tablet exert local action, they are
formulated as more water insoluble by means of selecting
slow dissolving excipients and thus provide local action for
long time period. e.g., antacids and adsorbents. The drugs
that produce systemic action have some aqueous solubility
and designed to disintegrate and dissolve quickly so that the
drug can be quickly absorbed and produce systemic action.
