Pill vs tablet

Hello!


Could you help me, please?


If we are talking about medication, is there any difference between "pill" and "tablet"?


Thank you!

org/wiki/Tablet Tablet (pharmacy), a mixture of pharmacological substances pressed into a small cake or bar, colloquially called a "pill" If you are a medical professional, you will make a distinction depending on the oral medication. In casual usage, they can refer to the same thing. I tend to use pill for small round medicines and tablet for larger elongated forms.
