Etymology
The term 'tabletted' derives from the noun 'tablet', which originates from the Latin word 'tabula', meaning a board or flat surface. The term evolved in the context of medicine, where it referred to a small, flat, round solid dose of medication. The practice of making tablets dates back to ancient Egypt, but significant advancements in the tabletting process developed in the 19th century with the rise of industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing. The ability to mass-produce tablets allowed for standardized dosages and made medications more accessible to patients. Today, tabletting is a crucial part of drug formulation, using advanced technology to ensure high quality and effectiveness.
