Which of the following is a solid medication form?

A tablet is classified as a solid medication form because it is a specific dose of medication that has been compressed into a solid mass. Tablets typically consist of active pharmaceutical ingredients along with excipients that help in the formulation, stability, and ease of swallowing. They can be designed for various release profiles, including immediate or extended release, enhancing their effectiveness in delivering medication.

In contrast, a liquid solution refers to medications that are dissolved in a liquid form, making them unsuitable for categorization as solid medications. Patches, while they may have a solid backing, deliver medication through the skin in a transdermal manner, and therefore are not considered solid medication forms in the same sense as tablets. Inhalation aerosols are also delivered in a gaseous form and are designed for inhalation into the lungs, which again does not qualify them as a solid medication form.
