The present invention can retain the volume of a tablet large without increasing the thickness of the tablet or the like dimension and prevents a plurality of tablets from sticking to each other even if they are subjected to a film-coating or the like treatment, so as to improve the yield. The tablet is a tablet (1) longer in one direction when seen in plan. The tablet (1) has side edges (6) each of which extends in a longitudinal direction and is formed in the shape of a curve projecting outwardly in plan view. The curve has a radius of curvature (R1) set to at least 1.5 times a length (L) of the tablet. This makes a projected area of the tablet (1) in plan view at least 97% with respect to a projected area of a standard elliptical tablet having opposite end portions each of which is formed by a semi-circle having a diameter of a width (W) of the tablet.
