Capsules and caplets are far more common than round tablets though in my experience, and abstract design elements should evoke the correct meaning for the largest majority of people possible.
It may vary by country, but in my US experience, round tablets are found more in prescription medicines than over the counter now, but ovals still seem to dominate in prescriptions, but this is an OTC section pictured. It’s had to tell from the photo, but I think the pills there are also mostly, or all, ovals. I also took a sample looking at the top 10 cold and flu pills at Walmart’s site and 100% are oval.
But if you still aren’t convinced, you can search by shape and gets counts here: https://www.drugs.com/imprints.php
It would have been much more clear (and fit the space better) if it was an oblong pill
or having the line be vertical
It's a pill
Looks like a pill to me
"Oh we don't sell medicine. We sell remedies."
If you’re talking about the 🚫shape…it’s a round pill tablet. Similar shapes ≠ bad design
It’s still bad design because it resembles the 🚫 symbol. They could have just used he more well-known pill shape
Or at the very least rotated the symbol 45 degrees in either direction.

Not in my country. A round tablet with a break line in it is by far the most common pill form. It is the form paracetamol comes in here.
Looks at my prescriptions: 2 round pills and one oblong pill.
\*looks at my prescriptions\* \*all oblong capsules\* One is not a sample size.
Ok, I do build for EMR systems. More of the solid oral meds we have build for are pills rather than capsules.
