English term or phrase: pressure sensitive tablets
Dear colleagues,

I will appreciate your assistance in explaining the term that refers to the appearance of a pill (context: "round white pressure sensitive film-coated tablets"). Nothing to do with 'pressure sensitive radio pills' or 'presure sensitive iPod screens'.
Thank you in advance for any of your consideration.
