A Review on Mouth Dissolving Tablets

Traditional dosage forms, such as pills and capsules, are now used to treat conditions like dysphagia, which increases the risk of non-compliance and makes therapy ineffective. Mouth dissolving tablets were created to solve the problems associated with traditional dosage forms. They offer good hardness, dose uniformity, and convenience of administration. For pediatric, geriatric, and travel patients, they are the preferred dose form. Providing the MDTs with enough hardness, integrity, and disintegration speed without the requirement for water was the aim of their development. For fast-dissolving tablets to dissolve in saliva quickly, water is not needed. Some tablets are designed to dissolve in saliva very quickly in just a few seconds and are therefore referred to as "fast-dissolving" tablets. Because they contain substances that accelerate the pace at which the tablet dissolves in the mouth otherwise, it might take up to a minute some tablets are best referred to as fast-disintegrating tablets. This tablet type is designed to make it possible to administer an oral solid dose form in situations when no water or fluids are taken. These tablets typically dissolve in less than 60 seconds when dissolved in saliva.
