English term or phrase: "Due to their ease of administration, tablets, caplets, and capsules..."
Procuro a tradução para CAPLET numa frase onde aparecem exemplos de formas unitárias de dosagem de um medicamento. A tradução que aparece sempre é "cápsula", mas uma vez que no texto logo a seguir a CAPLETS vem CAPSULES, suponho que haja um termo mais específico para CAPLET. A explicação do termo é "mistura comprimida de ingredientes em formato de cápsula", mas não sei a palavra correta para isto em português... Muito obrigada desde já por qualquer ajuda.

Explanation:
tablets, caplets, and capsules => comprimido..comprimido revestido..cápsula

What is difference between capsule and caplet?
A caplet is a compressed mixture of ingredients, similar to a tablet, that is formed into a capsule shape. It often has a film or gelatin coating to mask the taste and make it easier to swallow. In general, a capsule is a versatile way to administer drugs orally.Apr 29, 2019

agree  Andre Bitencourt: Parece que a diferença é só o formato: tablets são redondos e caplets, ovais. Talvez possa dizer "pastilhas, comprimidos e cápsulas" ou, se precisar ser realmente específica, "comprimidos redondos e ovais e cápsulas".
