Pill originally meant small, round medication. It is more known now to mean all solid forms of medications.
Pill = All solid medication.
Tablet = Powdered medication. Round shape.
Caplet = Powdered medication shaped like an oval or caspule shape.
Geltab = Gel/liquid medication in a geletane casing. Round shape.
caspule = Liquid/gel/powdered medication in a solid geletane casing.

Tablet and pill are basically the same thing. A capsule is taken like a tablet/pill but has the medication inside an edible casing. Their shapes are also different.
