    A tablet is a hard, compressed medication that comes in round, oval or square shapes. Tablets contain excipients like binders, glidants, lubricants and disintegrants to aid in the tablet-making process and ensure the tablet breaks down properly. They also sometimes contain sweeteners, flavors, or pigments to make uncoated tablets more attractive or mask unpleasant tastes.
