caplets
Smooth pill alternative
Caplets are a form of oral medication shaped like a capsule but with the solid composition of a tablet.
The elongated, smooth-coated design makes them easier to swallow than traditional round tablets: The pain reliever comes in caplets or liquid gel caps.
The word blends capsule and tablet.
