The film coated tablets have been on the market
for years...I don't know when they changed
them, but I've been on Parnate since 1997
and I have NEVER seen those sugar-coated
tablets.I don't know if anyone has ever noticed,
but put your nose in your Parnate bottle...
they STINK! I wish they WOULD go to a sugar-
coated tablet...that film coating stinks.If you run water over the tab, the coating
comes off fast...the bare, white tab
tastes yukky but if you gulp it down
fast with a lot of water you won't taste
it. I've done this only when I've dropped
the damn little bast^^ds on the floor!I haven't seen any tablets with the name
debossed into the tablet rather than
printed in black, but I will keep my
eyes open for them.
