A sugar coated tablet has a hard sugary coating - this makes the tablet nicer to put into a mouth and swallow. Some tablets have a nasty taste.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A tablet is a powdered medicine that has been compressed into a small, solid, disk or lozenge shape. This can then be swallowed easily by someone needing treatment using that medicine. However, some medicines taste bitter and to prevent this taste upsetting the patient as they swallow the medicine, the tablets are given an outer layer of hardened (and frequently coloured) sugar to make them palatable. This is a sugar coated tablet.

This type of tablet is designed with a special coating that protects it from dissolving in the acidic environment of the stomach, allowing it to pass through to the intestines where it can dissolve and release its active ingredients. This formulation is often used for medications that may irritate the stomach or for those that are better absorbed in the intestines.

Is levothyroxine an enteric-coated tablet?

No, levothyroxine is not typically an enteric-coated tablet. It is usually available in standard tablet form, which is designed to dissolve in the stomach. Enteric-coated tablets are designed to resist stomach acid and dissolve in the intestines instead, which is not the case for levothyroxine formulations. However, some specific formulations may differ, so it's always best to check the specific product details.
