Abstract

This review is about oral dispersible tablets a novel approach in drug delivery systems that are now a day’s more focused in formulation world, and laid a new path that, helped the patients to build their compliance level with the therapy, also reduced the cost and ease the administration especially in case of pediatrics and geriatrics. Oral dispersible tablets are advantageous for pediatric, geriatric mentally ill, nausea patients who have difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets and capsules. Using various excipients, evaluation tests marketed formulation and drugs used in the research area. The advantages of mouth dissolving dosage form are increasingly being recognized in both, industry and academia. Their growing importance has been underlined recently when European Pharmacopoeia adopted the term “Oral dispersible Tablet” as tablet that is to be place in the mouth where it disperses rapidly before swallowing. When ODTs are put on tongue they disintegrate instantaneously, releasing the drug which dissolve or disperses in the saliva. Some drugs are absorbed from the mouth, pharynx and esophagus as the saliva passes down in to the stomach. In such cases, bioavailability of a drug is significantly greater than those observed from conventional tablet dosage form.
