Abstract
Abstract Background The most common problem about conventional dosage form is dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). So, we design a new approach in a conventional dosage form which is oral dispersible tablet. Oral dispersible tablet is also called as mouth dissolving tablet, fast dissolving tablet, or oral disintegrating tablet. Oral dispersible tablet has advantage as it quickly disintegrates into saliva when it is put on the tongue. The faster the drug disintegrates or is dissolved, the faster the absorption and the quicker the therapeutic effect of drug will be attained. Main text This review article focuses on the progress in methods of manufacturing and various latest technologies involved in the development of oral disintegrating tablet. The solid dispersion technique is one of the novel techniques to manufacturing the oral dispersible tablet. Solid dispersion is basically a drug polymer two component system. Conclusion This review article focuses on advantages, disadvantages, materials used as carrier for solid dispersions, methods of preparation of solid dispersion, classification of solid dispersion, promising drugs that can be incorporated into oral disintegrating tablet by solid dispersion techniques, and recent research in solid dispersion technique using polymers as carriers.
