Abstract

Effervescent tablets are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of administration and rapid onset of action. They typically contain acidic materials and carbonates or bicarbonates that react quickly in the presence of water, releasing carbon dioxide and improving API solubility and flavor masking. However, effervescent tablets can be bulky, and the reaction rate is difficult to control due to water's catalytic effect. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of effervescent tablets, common effervescent reactions, active ingredients that can be formulated, and the preparation and manufacturing process. It also evaluates effervescent granules and tablets and explores the latest advancements in effervescent technology. Overall, effervescent tablets offer a promising option for drug delivery, and ongoing research will undoubtedly yield even more advanced formulations in the future.
