Are these tablets now coated with something to keep them from dissolving?

I don't think so. The tablets break apart very easily so I would say that they are not coated with anything and they dissolve very easily

They are not coated, so I have noticed it is imperative keeping the bottle tightly closed to prevent moisture in the air from dissolving the tablets.

Mine were fine, but you can try wiping them or after a while the powder will go away.I don't think you have anything to worry about.

They are not airtight, but I have never had an issue with any of the prescription meds or supplements degrading over a weeks' time. I have been very happy with this product.

I think these are pretty much the same consistency as most glucose tabs. However, they taste much better and we chew so there is no waiting for them to dissolve. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes .... while it's preferable to let the tablets dissolve naturally - they are able to be chewed .... hope that helps ....

No, they are very pliable & would dissolve. Even when water touches them they begin to do that. I hope you are not trying to do something harmful to something unable to protect itself. If so, try it on yourself first.

Yes Though not as cleanly as coated tablets. I have I coated tabs and this cutter works fine.

These are tiny, and also, will dissolve easily in a few moments. They don't seem to dissolve in water, but in your mouth they will. I'm referring to the tablets, not the capsules.

I'm not sure about the coated part, but most of the pills I split are scored and with ANY of my pills, I haven't had even one disintegrate yet. I LOVE this pill splitter and wondered what I ever did without it!!

The tablets are not coated - they are similar in appearance to regular aspirin tablets.

Yes, there is a shelf life. The box I bought in May, 2013 has an expiration date of 02/2017. Since each tablet is foil wrapped, they should last that long.

Given that this is a serving of calcium, the pills are not small. However, they dissolve very easily. In the presence of water or heat, the tablet basically starts to melt.

They are in a dissolvable tablet. Much like amoxicillin tablets, however they are a little larger. They are smaller then a multi vitamin

There is a preference for plastic rather than cotton since the cotton is sometimes difficult to remove and is subject to leave a few fibers behind. Either filler is there to prevent rattling and breaking the tablets into pieces.

They are a good size but they are easy to break in half. I always break this in half because it makes it easier to swallow and I like to think it helps in the digestion. The tablets are smooth. There is a toll free number for Solgar on the bottle 1-877-SOLGAR 4 OR www.solgar.com and they can answer the coating questions.

They are tablets, not gel-caps, and do not have smooth edges. However, if this bothers you, they are very small in size and may not affect you the same as other pills.

Not coated, easy to swallow for me but they are 1" long capsules - I'm not sure if you can open it and dissolve it in a drink?
