Is "met een laagje bedekte tabletten" an appropriate translation or not? Is it possible to say it better?

This is confirmed by plenty of hits for \'omhulde tabletten\' on the internet. See for example http://www.geneesmiddelenrepertorium.nl/122_nurof_22100.html

agree  Leo te Braake | dutCHem: Daar zag ik het ook tot mijn verbazing. Toen ik bij Organon werkte heette zoiets gewoon een dragée (sprak opa...) Ik voel tablet overigens niet aan als een onzijdig woord: ik zeg de tablet. (Achterhoeker, 35 jaar Brabant, in feite nog geen opa)

  -> De/het tablet mag allebei. Ik kom zelf oorspronkelijk uit Groningen en ben na wat omzwervingen in Drente en Brabant 8 jaar geleden in Zuid-Holland neergestreken. Mijn man is inmiddels een echte opa; ik ben slechts stiefoma ;-)

capsule


Explanation:
It can also be called 'capsule', capsule being the coating of the tablet and also the tablet + coating. But maybe this is an old fashioned way of speaking? Leo?
