Talk:Tablet (pharmacy)

message: I renamed two related pages: 
* encapsulation (pharmacology) to capsule (pharmacy)
* pill (pharmacology) to pill (pharmacy) 
:to make these terms consistent (denoting an object rather than process) and because there were objections on the encapsulation talk page that pharmacology has a related, but distinct scope of concern.  MaxEnt (talk) 22:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Note page renames to related pages

message: The article has no sources, so it is obviously stub class.  The complete lack of sources for such a fundamental concern is an embarrassement, so I rated it high importance just to get this fixed.  MaxEnt (talk) 22:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say that even if the article were in good shape, it would count as high importance, because tablets are one of the major drug dosage forms. --Slashme (talk) 06:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Were pills, tablets, any kind of medicine you swallow without tasting, made that way so you wouldn't have to chew or drink them? I heard that liquid medicines and medicines you injested and had to taste in the process were considered so bad tasting that even sick people would say they were well again so they wouldn't have to take it again. This way you don't have to 66.189.38.7 (talk) 08:55, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In general, if a medicine actually works, it's a good idea that it be easy to take so that people will not avoid taking it; see compliance (medicine) for a full discussion.  However, if a medicine is only effective because the patient believes that it works (see placebo) it's good to make it taste strong, so that the patients are very aware that they have been treated! As you say, an unpleasant treatment may also discourage malingering.--Slashme (talk) 06:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Richard Francis Burton impersonated a doctor during his pilgrimage to Mecca, and gave the following advice to people who wanted to do the same:
Whatever you prescribe must be solid and material, and if you accompany it with something painful, such as rubbing to scarification with a horse-brush, so much the better. Easterns, like our peasants in Europe, wish the doctor to “give them the value of their money.” Besides which, rough measures act beneficially upon their imagination. So the Hakim of the King of Persia cured fevers by the bastinado; patients are beneficially baked in a bread-oven at Baghdad; and an Egyptian at Alexandria, whose quartan resisted the strongest appliances of European physic, was effectually healed by the actual cautery, which a certain Arab Shaykh applied to the crown of his head.  --Slashme (talk) 06:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, some of them are (e.g. acetaminophen, quinine (ugh), cortisone) and some aren't (e.g. calcium supplements, vit. E pills etc.) and some are just plain nasty, without being bitter (Ever tried chewing a multivitamin softgel?  It's an experience I would recommend to all the masochists out there). --  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slashme (talk • contribs) 10:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's the difference between "tablet" and "pill"? 

message: I have reverted the recent additions made Sept 16 through Sept 20, 2012 for several reasons:  1) much of the text suffers from absence of context, making the meaning unclear at times, 2) much of it is formatted as an outline with sentence fragments that don't constitute coherent prose, 3) it is highly technical overly detailed at times, which is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, 4) it is entirely unreferenced, and 5) as noted by another editor, it is possibly plagiarized (cut-and-pasted from elsewhere).  If anyone would like to recover some of the content I have removed and incorporate it into the article in a coherent way, please feel free to do so - the content is still available in the article history.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:13, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revert of recent additions 

message: ,  et al; BE IT PROPOSED that the article Pill be considered for a merger with the Tablet article. The reasons are that the Pill article lacks enough substance to have merit as a verifiable article and that its relationship with Tablet is so similar that the Pill article should instead have its own section. Indeed, this will also clear up ambiguity over the image and image caption of pills on the Tablet article which has roused the attention of various contributors.
