text: A tablet is usually a compressed preparation that contains:
  *5-10% of the drug (active substance);
  *80% of fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, and binders; and
  *10% of compounds which ensure easy disintegration, disaggregation, and dissolution of the tablet in the stomach or the intestine.
  The dissolution time can be modified for a rapid effect or for sustained release.
  Special coatings can make the tablet resistant to the stomach acids such that it only disintegrates in the duodenum, jejunum and colon as a result of enzyme action or alkaline pH.
  Pills can be coated with sugar, varnish, or wax to disguise the taste.
