Use "them". "It" is not correct because "two tablets" is plural, but "it" is singular. No number concord.

No, the above sentences are not correct and I don't believe they were spoken by a native English speaker.

We'd say 'Here are two tablets for your cold. You can take them after lunch.'

'There are two sofas in my room. You can take them away on Monday.
