Chewable tablets

Chewable tablets offer a user-friendly, convenient alternative to conventional tablets. Humans learn to chew from an early age, making it a very natural process. Hence, most people find chewable tablets very easy to take. Compared to conventional tablets, they spend longer in the mouth and are therefore tasted more thoroughly. We use flavorings, as required, to ensure our chewable tablets taste pleasant.

Like all user-friendly dosage forms, chewable tablets:

  • Are easy to swallow (once chewed), even for those who experience difficulties swallowing conventional tablets and capsules
  • Reduce the risk of drug-induced esophagitis, which occurs when a tablet is caught in the esophagus and dissolves while remaining in contact with the sensitive esophagus lining
  • Taste pleasant and come in a range of flavors
  • Are easy and convenient to take
  • Are supplied as a single dose so no measuring is required
  • Improve compliance

 

Dosage forms that do not require water are:

  • Easy to take 'on the go'
  • Convenient to take, anywhere and at any time

  • Packaging in foil strips/pouches with an aluminum-paper laminate or PET-aluminum-PE laminate to protect photosensitive APIs against light
