Amlodipine besylate is a long‐acting calcium channel blocker used to treat chronic stable angina, vasospastic angina and hypertension. Amlodipine is a sparingly soluble orally administered drug and the rate of absorption is often controlled by the rate of dissolution. The rate of dissolution will increase by incorporating the drug in a fast dissolving dosage form. An attempt will be made to dev...

Advance in novel drug delivery system aims to enhance the safety and efficacy of the drug molecule by formulating a dosage form being for the administration. 1 Difficulty in swallowing is experienced by patient such as pediatric, geriatric, bedridden, disabled and mentally ill, including motion sickness and sudden episodes of allergic attacks, hence resulting in higher incidence of non-complian...

Gelatin is a principal excipient used as a binder in the formulation of lyophilized orally disintegrating tablets. The current study focuses on exploiting the physicochemical properties of gelatin by varying formulation parameters to determine their influence on orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) characteristics. Process parameters, namely pH and ionic strength of the formulations, and ball mil...

BACKGROUND This study compared effectiveness and acceptance of orally disintegrating olanzapine tablets (ODT) with standard-coated tablets (SOT) in acutely ill psychiatric patients admitted to psychiatric hospitals for emergency treatment. METHODS Large, prospective, observational study at hospital emergency units across Germany in patients with a diagnosis or tentative diagnosis of acute sch...

difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) is common among all age groups, especially in elderly and children. orally disintegrating tablets constitute an innovative dosage form that overcomes the problems of swallowing and provides a quicksetof action. the purpose of this study was to formulate and evaluate an orally disintegrating tablet (odt) containing captopril while using croscarmellose sodium,...

Melperone is an atypical antipsychotic agent that has shown a wide spectrum of neuroleptic properties, particularly effective in the treatment of senile dementia and Parkinson's-associated psychosis, and is marketed in Europe as an immediate-release (IR) tablet and syrup. An orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) dosage form would be advantageous for patients who experience difficulty in swallowing...

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs), also known as fast melts, quick melts, fast disintegrating and orodispersible systems, have the unique property of disintegrating in the mouth in seconds without chewing and the need of water and are thus assumed to improve patient compliance. Conventional methods like direct compression, wet granulation, moulding, spray-drying, freeze-drying and sublimatio...
