Pastillák

Pastillák is a Hungarian word that translates to "pills" in English. It refers to small, solid dosage forms typically used for the oral administration of medication. These can be made from various materials, including pharmaceutical excipients and active ingredients. The most common types of pastillák are:

Tablets: These are the most widely used form of pastillák. They are typically made from a mixture of active ingredients, binders, fillers, and disintegrants. Tablets can be coated to delay absorption or improve taste.

Capsules: Unlike tablets, capsules are designed to be swallowed whole. They contain the medication in a shell, which can be made from gelatin, cellulose, or other materials. Capsules are often used for medications that are unstable in the stomach acid or for medications that require precise dosing.

Pastilles: These are small, round or oval-shaped pastillák that are usually chewed or dissolved in the mouth before swallowing. They are often used for medications that are difficult to swallow in tablet form.

Pastillák are designed to provide a convenient and efficient way to deliver medication. They can be formulated to release the active ingredient over a specific period of time, known as sustained-release, or to release it all at once, known as immediate-release. The formulation of pastillák is a complex process that involves a deep understanding of pharmacology, chemistry, and engineering. The quality and safety of pastillák are regulated by national and international authorities to ensure they meet specific standards.
