Oral disintegrating tablets dissolve in the mouth and do not need to be chewed or taken with water.

• A. Enteric-Coated tablets
• B. Film-Coated tablets
• C. Oral disintegrating tablets
• D. Sublingual tablets

Answer: (C)

Oral disintegrating tablets are designed to break apart and dissolve quickly in the mouth with saliva, so you don’t need to chew them or take water. This makes them especially useful for people who have trouble swallowing pills or who need fast onset without drinking. Enteric-coated tablets are meant to resist stomach acid and release in the intestine, so they won’t dissolve in the mouth. Film-coated tablets are also swallowed whole and don’t rely on mouth disintegration. Sublingual tablets do dissolve in the mouth under the tongue for rapid absorption, but their primary purpose is a different route of absorption; the specific feature described in the prompt points to oral disintegrating tablets.
