Fast Dissolving Tablets

The performance of fast dissolving tablets depends on the technology used in their manufacture. The orally disintegrating property of the tablet is attributable to a quick ingress of water into the tablet matrix, which creates porous structure and results in rapid disintegration. Hence, the basic approaches to develop fast dissolving tablets include maximizing the porous structure of the tablet matrix, incorporating the appropriate disintegrating agent and using highly water-soluble excipients in the formulation.
