chewable tablets

Bite-down pill form

Chewable tablets are medication or supplements designed to be chewed rather than swallowed whole.

They dissolve in the mouth through chewing, making them easier for children or people who have difficulty swallowing pills: The pediatrician prescribed chewable vitamins.

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