ABSTRACT

Tablets are rapidly emerging as one of the most popular and well-accepted forms of treatment, especially in pediatric patients due to insufficient development of the muscular and nervous systems and in geriatric patients. There are a few solid forms of treatment such as capsules and tablets today that face problems such as difficulty eating (dysphagia), which leads to many cases of non-compliance and makes the treatment ineffective. effectiveness. The dosage form and the oral route are the preferred methods of administration for various drugs with limitations such as first pass metabolism, psychiatric patients, hypnotics and those who do not support it. TDF breaks down or dissolves easily in water without the need for water. Fast-dissolving tablets are designed to dissolve quickly in water, within seconds (less than 60 seconds), and are fast-dissolving tablets. The FDT formulation contains highly dispersive agents to enhance the rate of diffusion of the tablet into the oral cavity. FDT has advantages such as low portability and manufacturing, accurate dosing, good chemical and physical stability and is a good choice for geriatric and pediatric patients. FDT disperses quickly, penetrates quickly, the in vitro drug release time is improved and this drug property (dosage form) improves bioavailability. The FDT method has the advantages of both the tablet form and the liquid form of treatment. In this review contain brief information about FDTs including definition, advantages, needs or requirements of FDTs, salient features of FDTs, limitations, challenges to developing FDT, marketed formulations of fast dissolving tablets, etc.
