Abstract

Oral dosage forms that dissolve quickly in the mouth are called fast-dissolving tablets (FDT). Results will appear faster, patient compliance will increase, and it will be easier than using medication. FDT is also easier to create and store than tablets. There are many technologies that can create FDT. A popular method is to spray-dry chemical ingredients into thin films and then coat them on a carrier medium. Explosion of the drug contained in the carrier can also be achieved using another method, a process called melt extrusion. Medications, including mild medications and biologics, can cause FDT. FDT can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including pain relief, migraine relief, and respiratory disorders. Patients who have difficulty swallowing regular tablets, such as children, the elderly, and people with dysphagia, may find this medication easier to administer. Overall, FDT has many advantages not found in tablets. They run quickly through the system, increase patient compliance, and are easy to create and maintain. Many drugs can be effectively delivered using FDT.
