The tablets of the invention comprise a compound which melts at about 37° C. or lower, have a low hardness, high stability and generally comprise few insoluble disintegrants which may cause a gritty or chalky sensation in the mouth. Convenient and economically feasible processes by which the tablets of the invention may be produced are also provided.
