An inlay tablet is a type of layered tablet where the top surface of the core tablet is exposed, unlike compression coated tablets where the entire core is surrounded by coating. To produce an inlay tablet, only the bottom of the die cavity is filled with coating material and the core is placed on top. When compressed, some coating material is displaced to form the sides and compress the whole tablet. Inlay tablets require less coating material than compression coated tablets and allow the core to be visible to detect any coreless tablets. They also result in a thinner tablet that is less prone to capping of the top coating.

A type of layered tablet in which instead the core tablet
being completely surrounded by coating, top surface is completely exposed. While preparation, only the bottom of the die cavity is filled with coating material and core is placed upon it. When compression force is applied, some coating material is displaced to form the sides and compress the whole tablet. It has some advantages over compression coated tablets: i) Less coating material is required. ii) Core is visible, so coreless tablets can be easily detected. iii) Reduction in coating forms a thinner tablet and thus freedom from capping of top coating.
FIGURE.4. INLAY TABLETS 3- Modified release tablet The main aim behind formulation of this dosage form is to release the medicament slowly for long time duration after administration of a single tablet.More over, these type of formulations are generally used to target the site specific releases.
