What's the Difference Between a Tablet and a Capsule?
Tablets
A tablet is the most traditional form of medication dosing. Tablets contain medications that are tightly packed into solid pills that are administered orally. Tablets are usually round in shape, and they can be scored or unscored, making them easier to break apart for more exact dosing. Tablets from PetScript can be compounded to meet your exact prescription specifications.
Capsules
Capsules are cylinder-shaped containers that are made from a dissolvable gel material. The gel capsule contains medication which is usually in a jelly or powder form. Capsules cannot be divided into pieces the way that tablets can. However, they are usually recommended for medications that have a bitter or strong taste because the gel capsules mask the unpleasant flavors, making it easier to administer to animals – even with their powerful olfactory senses.
