A Review on Fast Dissolving Tablets

Abstract

Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs), also known as orally disintegrating tablets or fast-melting tablets, are a unique and innovative dosage form designed to disintegrate or dissolve rapidly in the mouth without the need for water or chewing. These tablets offer several advantages over conventional oral dosage forms, making them popular for certain patient populations and specific drug formulations. In this review we have mentioned various methods utilized for the manufacturing of fast dissolving tablets. Various type of evaluation parameters is also discussed here like weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, drug content, in-vitro disintegration time, wetting time, water absorption ratio as well as in-vitro dissolution studies.
