The present invention can inhibit the occurrence of defective products without increasing the hardness of a tablet even if stress is applied to the tablet on transporting it or packing it by an automatic dispensing machine or when taking it out of the PTP and besides can be put into practice easily and inexpensively to result in facilitating the improvement of the productivity. A tablet according to the present invention comprises a body portion (2) and cap portions (3) projecting from an upper and a lower surfaces (4) from the body portion (2) each in a convex shape. The cap portion (3) has a peripheral edge portion (7) a surface of which is provided with an upright angle (±) of 35 to 50 degrees with respect to the upper and lower surfaces (4) of the body portion (2) and is formed in a convex curved surface which becomes arcuate in vertical section. The cap portion (3) has its surface provided with an angle (²) of at least 20 degrees with respect to the upper and lower surfaces (4) at a position (9) recessed by a 5% length (L) of a horizontal length (D) of the body portion (2) from a peripheral edge portion of the body portion (2). The peripheral edge portion (7) has its surface connected to the surface at the mid portion (6) smoothly.
