Recent Advances in Orally Disintegrating Tablet: Properties, Formulation and Production

: Healthcare practitioners, patients, and consumers widely recognize the convenience as-sociated with administering oral tablets. The emergence of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) represents a significant advancement in solid dosage forms, facilitating more convenient oral de-livery while maintaining medication safety, effectiveness, and quality. The ODTs market is ex-pected to experience continuous growth in the coming years despite the internal challenges faced by commercial manufacturers. This paper initiates a comprehensive discussion of the properties of ODTs, including palatability and taste, drug content, disintegration, mechanical strength, mois-ture content, safety, and efficacy. The formulation factors that affect each of these qualities are also discussed. Additionally, this review delves into the processes of the production of ODTs, en-compassing the approaches and technologies from the mixing of active ingredients and recipients to the formation and packaging of ODTs. This review provides valuable insights into the ad-vancement in ODTs technology, aiming to equip researchers with the knowledge necessary to improve quality and optimize efficiency, ultimately receiving high acceptance from patients or consumers.
