What are the disintegration times of coated and uncoated tablets?
The disintegration time of coated tablets is typically longer compared to uncoated tablets due to the additional layer of coating that needs to dissolve before the tablet can disintegrate. Coated tablets are designed to release the medication gradually over time, which can affect the disintegration process. Uncoated tablets, on the other hand, disintegrate more quickly as they do not have an additional barrier to dissolve. The specific disintegration times can vary depending on the formulation of the tablet and the conditions in which it is tested.
