Orally Disintegrating Tablets

Continued from Yesterday

Compressed tablet systems are based on conventional tableting technology and are the easiest way to manufacture ODTs. Using conventional equipment, ingredients and a limited amount of processing steps makes this system a cost-effective manufacturing method. In this process, the active drug, diluents, binders and disintegrants are finely milled, blended and then compressed into tablets.

Some advantages of direct compression are higher dose delivery of active compounds as well as mechanically stronger, more robust tablets. A disadvantage is relatively slower dissolution rates when compared to freeze-dried tablets. Some well-known technologies using direct compression are OraSolv, DuraSolv and WOWTAB.
