REVIEW ON ORAL DISPERSIBLE TABLETS

In order to improve patient compliance, recent developments in Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS) have focused on creating dosage forms that are easy to make and administer, free of side effects, providing quick release, and having increased bioavailability. One of the main advantages of ODT over traditional dose forms is that they are made to dissolve and break down in saliva, making them simple to take without the need for water. Oral dispersible tablets are solid dose forms that dissolve in the mouth in less than a minute (60 seconds), leaving behind a residue that is simple to swallow. Oral dispersible tablets are designed for patients who are bedridden, young, elderly, or active but may not have access to water due to their hectic schedules or travels. Current technological advancements in the dosage form design of ODTs meet patient requirements without sacrificing the device's effectiveness. This review covers the manufacturing process, characteristics, benefits, drawbacks, and mechanisms; medications that will be included in the dissolving tablet; product evaluation; and potential future trends for the oral dissolving tablet. These are innovative dosage forms that, when applied on the tongue, dissolve in saliva in 60 seconds. These ODTs are ideal for individuals with mental disabilities, the elderly, and children because they may be used anytime, anyplace, and without the need for water. The purpose of this tablet format is to enable the administration of an oral solid dose form when no fluids or water is consumed. The different formulation elements, technologies created, ingredients employed, evaluation tests, and commercial formulations are all shown in this overview.
