Can you take tablets during fasting in Ramadan?
No, if you are fasting, then you cannot take tablets because your fast will break. However, if you are required to take tablets, then it is not obligatory for you to fast. When you do not have to take tablets anymore, then you will have to make up for that fast on another day or days.
For more details:
Fasting in Ramadan requires that you refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or practicing sex during the fasting period. The fasting period is the daytime period from just before dawn until sunset. Accordingly, if you are fasting you are not allowed to take tablets during the fasting period.
However, you have to ask the physician, who is prescribing the medical treatment, to arrange tablet taking hours to be within the non-fasting period (that is the evening time from just after sunset until just before dawn). If this is not possible, then you are allowed not to fast for the days you should take the tablets. Then you should compensate for these non-fasting days by fasting equal number of days as soon as possible after recovery. If taking tablets is for lifetime medical treatment, then for each non-fasting Ramadan day you have to give charity to the poor or needy people equivalent to the cost of your normal meals of one full day.

Answer 2 :
There are too many wisdoms behind the existence of Ramadan, I'll tell you some of what in my head :
1. Fasting in Ramadan teaches all the Muslims many great values such as "patience" & Allah (God ) loves the patient people as He said in the Holy Quran.
2. Muslims are forbidden ,in the time of fasting,from allowable things such as food & water. Consequently, this is a lesson for them to abandon all the guilts all the time because this is much easier for them as long as they do what is more difficult.
3. Fasting in Ramadan makes the Muslims feel of both hunger & thirst ,this feeling is a very effective way to remind them of the hungry & thirsty people, then it pushes them to provide all the poor & needy people with helps,charity...etc.
4. This is the month of the great double rewards from The Generous Allah, this encourages Muslims to do good deeds more & more in this month. For example:
Sadaqa(charity), reading the Holy Quran, Praying at the favoured time at night...etc.
Also, it's a great chance to gain the forgiveness from Allah & to try to start with a clean sheet with Him. But it's important to assure that a Muslim must return back the rights of the people if he took any of them ,then to beseech Allah's mercy & forgiveness.
5. Ramadan has many spiritual values, it indicates the unity of the Islamic nation.
For example,all the Muslims of a country start eating at the same time in Ramadan.
in the family itself ,all the members must meet to share eating. That's a very nice way to strengthen the bonds between them.
