Abstract

The convenience of administration and improved patient compliance are important in the design of oral drug delivery system which remains the preferred route of drug delivery inspite of various disadvantages. Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. It has more significance to geriatric, Paediatric, bedridden patients because they have a problem in swallowing and the patient with dysphasia. It is more useful for the traveller and busy patients who don’t have easy access to water. Fast dissolving tablets are prepared by various technologies with the aid of superdisintegrants. Fast dissolving tablets are more reliable than conventional dosage forms like tablets, capsules because of better patient compliance. The advancement in this field allows the development of an economic and better way of disease management with avoidance of several problems related to the other delivery systems.
