Abstract

The main objective behind the orodispersible tablet formulation is patient compliance. Even there is no need of water while consuming this tablets. Due to these dosage forms fast onset is achieved as ODT is dissolved or disintegrated in oral cavity when it comes in contact with saliva. Difficulty in swallowing is problem about tablet and capsules also water is required for their intake, which may not be available while travelling. Those conventional dosage forms are difficult to administer in case of uncooperative patients, geriatric and pediatric patients. Various research fellows have used different superdisintegrats both natural, coprocessed and artificial in different proportions. This review describes in detail need of ODTs, challenges while formulating ODTs, conventional and patented technologies. It also summarises evaluation of ODTs and recent reseach work on ODTs.
