Etymology
The word 'tablet' comes from the Latin 'tabula', which means 'a board, plank, or flat piece'. Originally used to refer to flat pieces of material for writing or conveying information, the term evolved in medicine to refer to small, disc-shaped forms of medication. The practice of tableting began in the 19th century with the rise of mass pharmaceutical production, allowing for consistent dosages that could be easily administered to patients. This innovation significantly changed the way medicines were prescribed and consumed, leading to the modern methods of drug manufacturing that continue to develop today.
