Among the different routes of administration, the oral route of administration continues to be the most preferred route due to various advantages including ease of ingestion, avoidance of pain, versatility and most importantly patient compliance. The different dosage forms include tablets and capsules. The important drawback of these dosage forms for pediatric and geriatric patients is being difficulty in swallowing. Nearly 35% of the general population, especially the elderly patients and children suffer from dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing, which results in high incidence of ineffective therapy and non compliance. To overcome these problems, formulators have considerably dedicated their effort to develop a novel type of tablet dosage form for oral administration, i.e., one, which disintegrates and dissolves rapidly ( within 15 seconds) in saliva without the need for drinking water. This paper clearly describes various formulation strategies and also patented technologies of oral disintegrating tablets. This paper describes about the need for development of mouth dissolving tablets, and also lists out the various marketed products of oral disintegrating tablets.
