Proscribe sounds similar to the word prescribe, but be careful: these words are essentially opposite in meaning. While proscribe means forbid, prescribe is used when a doctor recommends a medicine or remedy. Of course, if you want an excuse for not following your doctorâs orders, you could say you were confused about the meaning of these two words â but that would be lying, which is proscribed by most peopleâs value systems.
Capsules vs Tablets. The doctors prescribe medicines in the form of capsules and tablets. A tablet is in the form of flat tablets and a capsule is almost cylindrical. Tablets can be cut into two, whereas capsules cannot be cut into two. A capsule consists of powder or jelly enclosed in a dissolvable gelatin container. A tablet is a compressed powder in solid form. Tablets are coated with sugar or similar substances, which means that the drug contained in it will not immediately enter the blood stream. But, the drug in the capsules is known to enter the blood stream immediately.
