What is the difference between pill and tablet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vague vs. specific: A pill is a vague term that implies a medicine given by mouth. A tablet is a kind of pill. A capsule is another kind of pill. There may be some who disagree, and say a pill must be a tablet. Pharmacists and docs say capsule or tablet, specifically, usually.
