Tablets contain multiple ingredients beyond the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) such as fillers, tableting agents, disintegrants, and absorption enhancers or agents that slow down and control absorption.

An article published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology indicates that Oramed's platform technology has two components: 1) A chemical make-up that protects insulin during passage through the gastrointestinal tract, and 2) absorption enhancers so that insulin could be absorbed by the intestine.
