An immediate-release tablet is a type of medication that is designed to release the active ingredient rapidly into the bloodstream after ingestion. This type of tablet is formulated without a special coating or matrix that controls the rate of drug release, allowing for a more rapid onset of action compared to extended-release tablets.
Immediate-release tablets are often used to treat conditions that require a more rapid response, such as acute pain or fever. By releasing the drug quickly into the bloodstream, immediate-release tablets can provide rapid relief of symptoms.
The timing of drug release from an immediate-release tablet can be influenced by a number of factors, including the properties of the drug and the formulation of the tablet. As a result, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of immediate-release tablets, including any instructions regarding how to take the medication and any potential interactions with other medications.
