Chewable dosage forms, such as tablets, soft pills, gums, and chewable squares, are indispensable for pharmacists, particularly in addressing swallowing challenges in paediatric and geriatric patients. These formulations, designed for biting or chewing, provide a user-friendly alternative, especially beneficial for those on the go without immediate water access. Critical considerations in chewable tablet formulation include flow, lubrication, disintegration, and organoleptic properties, with a focus on taste and texture. Optimal combinations of formula and process are essential for creating products with favourable sensory attributes, distinguishing them from regularly swallowed tablets. Chewable tablets play a crucial role in enhancing medication adherence by catering to diverse patient needs. This review explores chewable tablets, covering advantages, disadvantages, ideal characteristics, formulation constituents, and preparation techniques. It delves into pre-compression parameters like moisture content and angle of repose, as well as post-compression parameters including hardness, friability, thickness, disintegration, and dissolution. In summary, chewable dosage forms offer a versatile and valuable option across age groups, contributing significantly to patient care and treatment adherence.
