The document discusses oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs), which are oral solid dosage forms that dissolve or disintegrate rapidly in the mouth without water. ODTs offer advantages over traditional tablets like improved patient compliance and bioavailability. Key attributes of ODTs include rapid disintegration (within 30 seconds), good taste masking, and the use of superdisintegrants, sugars, and other excipients to facilitate quick dissolution. Common technologies for producing ODTs involve freeze-drying, direct compression, spray drying, and mass extrusion. Preformulation studies and tests of disintegration time and dissolution profile are important for developing an effective ODT formulation.
