English to Spanish translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: rod-shaped
It is about the description of a tablet:

"White, rod-shaped, scored on one face, non-coated tablet."

I´m not sure what is the proper word in this case.

oblongo
Explanation:
El sintagma 'rod-shaped tablet' es sinónimo de 'oblong tablet' y de 'caplet' (contracción de las palabras 'capsule' y 'tablet' que designa un comprimido alargado, como las cápsulas).

En castellano se suele utilizar en este contexto el adjetivo "oblongo" ("comprimido oblongo" o, en algunos países, como por ejemplo México, "tableta oblonga").

Mirá en el apartado "Presentation" de esta ficha técnica neozelandesa de Coversyl® (un medicamento del laboratorio Servier) la descripción de los comprimidos de 4 mg
