ELI5: Why do they make gummy multivitamins and supplements, but no gummy medication drugs?

A vitamin supplement basically just needs to get into the bloodstream as soon as possible so that it can be absorbed.  A lot of medications are designed to dissolve and disperse into the body in a slow and controlled way.  The form the medication takes (capsule, tablet, powder, liquid, etc.) plays a big part in how quickly it gets absorbed.
