چکیده
Article history: Received on: 06/01/2014 Revised on: 22/01/2014 Accepted on: 12/02/2014 Available online: 27/02/2014 Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) have greatly increased dosage forms which have remarkable impact on the patient compliance especially for the pediatric, geriatric and psychiatric patients with deglutition disorders. Several technologies either conventional or patented based on freeze drying/lyophilization, spray drying, moulding, phase transition process, melt granulation, sublimation, mass extrusion, cotton candy process, direct compression etc. have been developed for manufacturing of ODTs. In this review brief information about ODTs including definition, ideal and desired characteristics, advantages, limitations and disadvantages, drug canditates, challenges in formulation, excipients with recent developments in superdisintegrants, tast masking, manufacturing techniques, evaluation parameters and recent patents in ODTs are presentented.

متن کامل[Preparation of orally disintegrating tablets for masking of unpleasant taste: comparison with corrective-adding methods].
Many orally disintegrating tablets have recently been developed to improve oral ingestion and usability and are widely administered clinically, resulting in improved quality of life for patients. Since orally disintegrating tablets rapidly disintegrate in the mouth, the masking of unpleasant taste is important. We investigated the masking of the taste of furosemide (FU) as a model drug with cor...
