Both the tablets and capsules contain the medicine but the fact is drugs inside the capsule if mixed with gastric acid results in not getting enough of the medication. Drugs are prepared in form of a capsule the outer covering protects the drugs from the action of gastric acid . When it enters the intestine it's absorbed into the circulation. As the outer shell of the capsule broken into the digestive tract and absorbed into the bloodstream. The direct entry into the blood help in curing the disease in a fast manner. 
While tablets are drugs that can be easily absorbed from the stomach and sometime also from the intestine. This will take time to enter the blood. Open the capsule is risk leads to alter the way of drug absorbed by your body.
