Abstract
Mouth dissolving tablets are disintegrating and dissolve rapidly in the saliva
without the need for water. Some tablets are designed to dissolve in saliva remarkably fast, within
a few seconds, and are true fast-dissolving tablets. Others contain agents to enhance the rate of
tablet disintegration in the oral cavity, and are more appropriately termed fast-disintegrating
tablets, as they may take up to a minute to completely disintegrate. Oral delivery is currently the
gold standard in the pharmaceutical industry where it is regarded as the safest, most convenient
and most economical method of drug delivery having the highest patient compliance. Fast- or
mouth dissolving tablets have been formulated for pediatric, geriatric, and bedridden patients and
for active patients who are busy and traveling and may not have access to water.
