Tablets
Belmar compounds several kinds of tablets based on the type of medication to be delivered, preferred speed of absorption, or other patient needs.
Oral Tablets
Compressed tablets are one of the simplest and easiest ways for patients to take their medications. We compound them with one or multiple medication ingredients, in a variety of combinations. In addition to the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), tablets may be compounded with binders to keep the tablet together, lubricants to make them easier to swallow, and flavorants to make them more palatable to patients. Tablet-delivered medications enter the bloodstream from the stomach or bowel.

Belmar sublingual tablets have several advantages over troches. Troches use polyethylene glycol as their base, which may cause irritation to patients’ gums. More and more patients are trying to avoid polyethylene glycol due to sensitivities Also, unlike troches, sublingual tablets do not melt if they get hot and there are no special shipping requirements.
