Ok, so tablets, especially if prescribed by a doctor, are less complicated halachically.
Here's the OU's statement. The cRc, Star K, and other agencies have issued something similar.
https://oukosher.org/passover/.....over/
Here's a partial quote of section 2:
2. Known and tested medications in the form of creams, non-chewable pills and injections may be owned, used and consumed on Passover, even if they contain chametz or kitniyot, since they are inedible. This covers most medicines used by adults. However, if an equally effective chametz-free alternative is available or procurable, this should be used instead.
And, of course, ask your LOR
