chewable tablet

A chewable tablet is a medication or supplement designed to be chewed rather than swallowed whole.

Chewable tablets dissolve more quickly and suit those who have difficulty swallowing pills: The pediatrician recommended chewable vitamins for the kids.

They often come in flavored varieties to mask the taste of active ingredients.
