Answer 2

Answer:

Tablets can be cut into two whereas capsules cannot be cut into two.

A capsule consists of powder or jelly enclosed in a dissolvable gelatin container whereas a tablet is a compressed powder in solid form.

Tablets are coated with sugar or similar subtances, which means that the drug contained in it will not immediately enter the blood stream. But the drug in the capsule is known to enter the blood stream immediately.

Tablets are also known to have more shelf life and also retain its potential for a longer time than compared to capsules.

Tablets are known to be less expensive than capsules..
