 Severe Renal or Hepatic Impairment in Adults: Use a lower starting dose of 0.5 mg twice daily. May increase to dosages above 1.5 mg twice daily at intervals of at least one week. (2.4)  Oral Solution: Can be administered directly from calibrated pipette or mixed with beverage (water, coffee, orange juice, or low-fat milk). (2.6)  M-TAB Orally Disintegrating Tablets: Open the blister only wh...

OBJECTIVE This pilot, twelve-week, open-label study examined the effect of clozapine orally disintegrating tablet or ODT in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder utilizing Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) as a long-term outcome measurement tool. METHODS The final study sample consisted of nineteen subjects who were residents a long-term care psychiatric facility...

Lamotrigine (LMG) is an Antiepileptic drug which is widely used in epilepsy. It is also used in simple and complex partial seizures and secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is poorly water soluble drug (0.17mg/ml at 25 0 C). Thus, in the work under taken, an attempt was made to enhance the water solubility by complexation with β-cyclodextrin (1:5 molar ratios). The mouth dissolving t...

BACKGROUND Orodispersible tablets (ODTs) are tablet or wafer forms of medication that disintegrate in the mouth, aided only by saliva. ODTs rely on different fast dissolve/disintegration manufacturing technologies. OBJECTIVES Disintegration time differences for several olanzapine ODT forms were investigated. Risperdal M-Tab(®) was included as a non-olanzapine ODT comparator. RESEARCH DESIGN...

Orally disintegratingtablets (ODTs) comprising sustained release (SR) coated microparticles smallerthan 250 µm provide an appealing dosage form for patients with dysphagia,offering a superior mouthfeel and highly convenient route of administrationwithout the need water. SR coating requisite size(<200 µm) is incredibly challenging however utilisation theMicroCoat™ techno...

Ondansetron is the first of a new class of drugs, selective serotonin receptor antagonist (5 hydroxy tryptamine type 3) used as an anti emetic associated with cancer chemotherapy. Its Orally Disintegrating Tablet has been developed for patients who find swallowing difficult by freeze dried technology by RP Scherer Corporation and Scherer DDS. The aim of this study was to design a new orally dis...

Development of a lyophilized orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) that enhanced the in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption of nimesulide (NM), a drug with poor solubility and poor bioavailability, is presented. The ODTs were prepared by freeze-drying an aqueous dispersion of NM containing a matrix former, a sugar alcohol, and a collapse protectant. In addition, different disintegration accel...
