English translation:isn't this a typo ?
Explanation:
I could be completely wrong, of course, but shouldn't this be 'Schmelztablette' ?
Schmelz = enamel

Schmeiz = apart from being a last name of a person, I wouldn't know what it is.
Let's hope some German, Austrian,...colleagues can come up with something else/better.

definitely a typo, but...


Explanation:
probably for Schmerztablette-painkiller or anodyne or analgesic pill;
if it's a misspelling of Schmelztablette, the "schmelz" is probably not from enamel, which is almost exclusively used for tooth enamel, but from "schmelzen", meaning "melt".
Hope that helps.
