Definition

Fast Dissolving Tablets (FDTs) or “mouth dissolving
tablets” (MDTs) which disintegrates or dissolves
rapidly without water within few seconds in the
mouth.

3
According to European pharmacopoeia, these MDTs
should dissolve/disintegrate in less than three minutes.

US FDA defined ODTs as “A solid dosage form
containing medicinal substances or active ingredients
which disintegrates rapidly within a few seconds when
placed up on tongue”

4
Mouth dissolving tablets are also called as
 Orodispersible tablets (ODTs),
 Fast disintegrating tablets,
 Orally disintegrating tablets,
 Quick disintegrating tablets,
 Fast dissolving tablets,
 Rapid dissolving tablets,
 Porous tablets,
 Quick melt tablets &
 Rapid melt tablets.
5
Significance
 It offer all advantages of solid dosage forms
and liquid dosage forms along with special
advantages, includes
 It provide good stability, accurate dosing, easy
manufacturing, small packaging size & easy to
handle.
 No need of water to swallow the dosage form.
 Easy to administer for paediatric, geriatric &
institutionalized patients.
 More rapid drug absorption from the pregastric area which may produce Quick onset of
action.

6
 Pre-gastric absorption of drug avoids hepatic
metabolism, which reduces the dose and
increase the bioavailability.
 The risk of chocking or suffocation during oral
administration avoided.
 Good mouth feel property of MDDDS helps to
change the basic view of medication as "bitter
pill"
 Patient’s compliance for disabled bedridden
patients and for travelling and busy people, who
do not have ready access to water.

7
Requirements of ODTs
An ideal FDT should
I. Dissolve / disintegrate in the mouth in matter
of seconds without water.
II. Have sufficient mechanical strength and good
package design.
III. Not affected by drug properties.
IV. Effective taste masking technologies should be
adopted for bitter taste drugs.
V. Leave minimal or no residue in mouth after
oral administration.
VI. Exhibit low sensitivity to environment
condition such as humidity and temperature.

1. Freeze drying or lyophilization
This process includes the removal of solvent from a
frozen suspension or solution of drug with
structure-forming additives.
Freeze-drying of drug along with additives imparts
glossy amorphous structure resulting in highly
porous and lightweight product.
MDTs formed by lyophilization have
low mechanical strength,
poor stability at higher temperature, and
humidity
11
2. Molding
Molded tablets are prepared by using water-soluble
ingredients.
The powder blend is
hydroalcoholic solvent.

moistened

with

a

Molded into tablets under pressure lower than that
used in conventional tablet compression.
Solvent is then removed by air-drying.
Molded tablets are very less compact than
compressed tablets.
12
3. Cotton candy process
This process involves formation of matrix of
polysaccharides or saccharides by simultaneous
action of flash melting and spinning.
Formed matrix is partially re-crystallized to have
improved flow properties and compressibility.
This candy floss matrix is then milled.
Blended with active ingredients and excipients and
subsequently compressed to FDTs.
13
4. Spray drying
In this method hydrolyzed and nonhydrolyzed
gelatin were used as supporting matrix.
Mannitol as bulking agent
Sodium starch glycolate or crosscarmellose sodium
as superdisintegrant.
Acidic substances (citric acid) or alkali substance
(sodium
bicarbonate)
further
increase
disintegration and dissolution.
14
This technology produces highly porous and fine
powders as processing solvent is evaporated during
process.
Disintegration time < 20 sec

15
5. Mass extrusion
Involves softening the active blend using the
solvent mixture of water-soluble polyethylene
glycol and methanol.
Subsequent expulsion of softened mass through the
extruder or syringe.
To get a cylinder of the product into even
segments using heated blade to form tablets.

16
6. Nanonization
Nanomelt technology involves reduction in the
particle size of drug by proprietary wet-milling
technique.
Nanocrystals of the drug are stabilized against
agglomeration by surface adsorption on selected
stabilizers, which are then incorporated into MDTs.
Advantages
For poor water soluble drugs.
Fast
disintegration/dissolution
of
nanoparticles . .. leads to increased absorption and
bioavailability.
Reduction in dose.

17
7. Three-dimensional Printing (3DP)
It is a rapid prototyping (RP) technology.
Prototyping involves constructing specific layers
that uses powder processing and liquid binding
materials.
Loose powders in it was fabricated using 3DP
process.
Based on computer-aided design models
TAG tablets seemed due to the rapid water
penetration into the tablet resulting from the large
pore size
18
8. Compaction
a) Melt granulation
Powders are efficiently agglomerated by a melt able
binder.
Advantages:- No water or organic solvents is
needed.
For this, purpose high shear mixers are utilized.
Product temperature is raised above the melting
point of binder by a heating jacket or by the heat of
friction generated by impeller blades.
19
It involves the use of a hydrophilic waxy binder
(Superpolystate©, PEG-6-stearate).
Superpolystate© having melting point 33–37°C and
a HLB value 9.
So it will not only act as a binder but will also help
the disintegration.

20
b) Phase transition process
In this compress powder containing erythritol
(melting point: 122 °C) and xylitol (melting point:
93 - 95 °C), and then heating at about 93 °C for 15
min.
After heating, the median pore size and tablet
hardness was increased.
Heating process enhances the bonding among
particles leads to sufficient hardness of tablets.

21
c) Sublimation
When inert volatile solid ingredients like
ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate,
benzoic acid, camphor, hexamethylene tetramine,
naphthalene, phthalicanhydride, urea and urethane
were added to other tablet excipients.
Blend was compressed in to a table & finally
subjected to sublimation resulting in highly porous
structures.
Tablets produce by this method exhibit
good mechanical strengthhigh,
porosity (approximately 30%),
dissolved within 15 seconds in saliva.
22
Figure:- Steps Involved in sublimation

23
9. Conventional methods
a) Direct compression
Easiest way to manufacture tablets.
Conventional equipment, commonly available
excipients and a limited number of processing steps
are involved in direct compression.
Also high doses can be accommodated and final
weight of tablet can easily exceed that of other
production methods.
Tablet disintegration time can be optimized by
concentrating the disintegrants.
24
Below critical concentration, tablet disintegration
time is inversely proportional to disintegrants
concentration.
Above
the
critical
concentration
level,
disintegration time remains approximately constant
or even increases.
The major drawback of effervescent excipients is
their hygroscopicity (i.e., the ability to absorb
atmospheric moisture).
Another approach is the use of sugar‐based
excipients (e.g., dextrose, fructose, isomalt,
maltitok, maltose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch
hydrolyse, polydextrose, and xylitol).
25
Which are having high aqueous solubility and
sweetness.
It impart taste masking and a pleasing mouthfeel.
Microcrystalline
cellulose,
cross
linked
carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, cross linked
polyvinyl pyrrolidone and partially substituted
hydroxypropyl cellulose, though water insoluble,
absorb water and swell due to capillary action and
act as effective disintegrants.

26
b) Wet granulation
Acid component of the effervescent couple
presented in the tablet with lower than 5%, quick
disintegration times could be achieved.
In the patent, the formulation includes polyalcohols
(e.g., mannitol, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, erythritol,
and lactitol).
1–30% of an edible acid & an active ingredient as
the dry mixture wet granulated with an aqueous
solution of a water-soluble or water-dispersible
polymer (e.g., poly(ethylene glycols), carrageenan,
and ethylcellulose).
27
which consisted of 1–10% of the final weight of
the granule in a fluid bed.
Granules with high porosity and low apparent
density disintegration times ranging from 3 to 30
seconds in the saliva were obtained.

28
c) Dry granulation
Low-density alkali earth metal salts or watersoluble carbohydrates were precompacted, and the
resulting granules were compressed into tablets.
Powdered material with a density of 0.2–0.55
g/mL was precompacted to increase the density to
0.4–0.75 g/mL by applying a force ranging from 1
to 9 kN/cm.
The resulting granules were compressed into
tablets.
29

particles.
Traditional tablets produced using an internal
lubrication system, which disperses lubricant on
the inside and the surface of the tablets, decrease
tablet mechanical strength.
39
6. Dispersible Tablet Technology
Lek in Yugoslavia was issued patents for
dispersible tablets of dihydroergotoxine and
cimetidine
Dihydroergotoxine is poorly water soluble in free
base form.
Improved dissolution rate of dihydroergotoxine
methanesulphonate was observed with dispersible
tablets containing 0.8– 10%, preferably about 4%
by weight, of an organic acids.
40
Cimetidine formulated with one of disintegrating
agent. It provides rapid swelling and/or good
wetting capability to the tablets and thereby a quick
disintegration.
Disintegrating agents
e.g. starch or modified starches, microcrystalline
cellulose, alginic acid, cross-linked sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose, and cyclodextrin
polymers.
Combination of two or more disintegrating agents
produced better disintegration results.
41
7. Pharmaburst Technology

  • 1. Review: On Mouth Dissolving Tablet Presented By S. B. THOKE [M. PHARM] [DEPT OF PHARMACEUTICS]
  • 2. Content’s  Definition  Significance  Requirements of ODTs  Formulation Methodologies  Patented Technologies  Superdisintegrants employed in ODT  Evaluation  References 2
  • 3. Definition Fast Dissolving Tablets (FDTs) or “mouth dissolving tablets” (MDTs) which disintegrates or dissolves rapidly without water within few seconds in the mouth. 3
  • 4. According to European pharmacopoeia, these MDTs should dissolve/disintegrate in less than three minutes. US FDA defined ODTs as “A solid dosage form containing medicinal substances or active ingredients which disintegrates rapidly within a few seconds when placed up on tongue” 4
  • 5. Mouth dissolving tablets are also called as  Orodispersible tablets (ODTs),  Fast disintegrating tablets,  Orally disintegrating tablets,  Quick disintegrating tablets,  Fast dissolving tablets,  Rapid dissolving tablets,  Porous tablets,  Quick melt tablets &  Rapid melt tablets. 5
  • 6. Significance  It offer all advantages of solid dosage forms and liquid dosage forms along with special advantages, includes  It provide good stability, accurate dosing, easy manufacturing, small packaging size & easy to handle.  No need of water to swallow the dosage form.  Easy to administer for paediatric, geriatric & institutionalized patients.  More rapid drug absorption from the pregastric area which may produce Quick onset of action. 6
  • 7.  Pre-gastric absorption of drug avoids hepatic metabolism, which reduces the dose and increase the bioavailability.  The risk of chocking or suffocation during oral administration avoided.  Good mouth feel property of MDDDS helps to change the basic view of medication as "bitter pill"  Patient’s compliance for disabled bedridden patients and for travelling and busy people, who do not have ready access to water. 7
  • 8. Requirements of ODTs An ideal FDT should I. Dissolve / disintegrate in the mouth in matter of seconds without water. II. Have sufficient mechanical strength and good package design. III. Not affected by drug properties. IV. Effective taste masking technologies should be adopted for bitter taste drugs. V. Leave minimal or no residue in mouth after oral administration. VI. Exhibit low sensitivity to environment condition such as humidity and temperature. 8
  • 9. Formulation Methodologies 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. a) b) c) Freeze drying or lyophilization Molding Cotton candy process Spray drying Mass extrusion Nanonization Three-dimensional Printing (3DP) Compaction Melt granulation Phase transition process Sublimation 9
  • 10. 9. Conventional methods a)Dry granulation b)Wet granulation c)Direct compression 10
  • 11. 1. Freeze drying or lyophilization This process includes the removal of solvent from a frozen suspension or solution of drug with structure-forming additives. Freeze-drying of drug along with additives imparts glossy amorphous structure resulting in highly porous and lightweight product. MDTs formed by lyophilization have low mechanical strength, poor stability at higher temperature, and humidity 11
  • 12. 2. Molding Molded tablets are prepared by using water-soluble ingredients. The powder blend is hydroalcoholic solvent. moistened with a Molded into tablets under pressure lower than that used in conventional tablet compression. Solvent is then removed by air-drying. Molded tablets are very less compact than compressed tablets. 12
  • 13. 3. Cotton candy process This process involves formation of matrix of polysaccharides or saccharides by simultaneous action of flash melting and spinning. Formed matrix is partially re-crystallized to have improved flow properties and compressibility. This candy floss matrix is then milled. Blended with active ingredients and excipients and subsequently compressed to FDTs. 13
  • 14. 4. Spray drying In this method hydrolyzed and nonhydrolyzed gelatin were used as supporting matrix. Mannitol as bulking agent Sodium starch glycolate or crosscarmellose sodium as superdisintegrant. Acidic substances (citric acid) or alkali substance (sodium bicarbonate) further increase disintegration and dissolution. 14
  • 15. This technology produces highly porous and fine powders as processing solvent is evaporated during process. Disintegration time < 20 sec 15
  • 16. 5. Mass extrusion Involves softening the active blend using the solvent mixture of water-soluble polyethylene glycol and methanol. Subsequent expulsion of softened mass through the extruder or syringe. To get a cylinder of the product into even segments using heated blade to form tablets. 16
  • 17. 6. Nanonization Nanomelt technology involves reduction in the particle size of drug by proprietary wet-milling technique. Nanocrystals of the drug are stabilized against agglomeration by surface adsorption on selected stabilizers, which are then incorporated into MDTs. Advantages For poor water soluble drugs. Fast disintegration/dissolution of nanoparticles . .. leads to increased absorption and bioavailability. Reduction in dose. 17
  • 18. 7. Three-dimensional Printing (3DP) It is a rapid prototyping (RP) technology. Prototyping involves constructing specific layers that uses powder processing and liquid binding materials. Loose powders in it was fabricated using 3DP process. Based on computer-aided design models TAG tablets seemed due to the rapid water penetration into the tablet resulting from the large pore size 18
  • 19. 8. Compaction a) Melt granulation Powders are efficiently agglomerated by a melt able binder. Advantages:- No water or organic solvents is needed. For this, purpose high shear mixers are utilized. Product temperature is raised above the melting point of binder by a heating jacket or by the heat of friction generated by impeller blades. 19
  • 20. It involves the use of a hydrophilic waxy binder (Superpolystate©, PEG-6-stearate). Superpolystate© having melting point 33–37°C and a HLB value 9. So it will not only act as a binder but will also help the disintegration. 20
  • 21. b) Phase transition process In this compress powder containing erythritol (melting point: 122 °C) and xylitol (melting point: 93 - 95 °C), and then heating at about 93 °C for 15 min. After heating, the median pore size and tablet hardness was increased. Heating process enhances the bonding among particles leads to sufficient hardness of tablets. 21
  • 22. c) Sublimation When inert volatile solid ingredients like ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, benzoic acid, camphor, hexamethylene tetramine, naphthalene, phthalicanhydride, urea and urethane were added to other tablet excipients. Blend was compressed in to a table & finally subjected to sublimation resulting in highly porous structures. Tablets produce by this method exhibit good mechanical strengthhigh, porosity (approximately 30%), dissolved within 15 seconds in saliva. 22
  • 23. Figure:- Steps Involved in sublimation 23
  • 24. 9. Conventional methods a) Direct compression Easiest way to manufacture tablets. Conventional equipment, commonly available excipients and a limited number of processing steps are involved in direct compression. Also high doses can be accommodated and final weight of tablet can easily exceed that of other production methods. Tablet disintegration time can be optimized by concentrating the disintegrants. 24
  • 25. Below critical concentration, tablet disintegration time is inversely proportional to disintegrants concentration. Above the critical concentration level, disintegration time remains approximately constant or even increases. The major drawback of effervescent excipients is their hygroscopicity (i.e., the ability to absorb atmospheric moisture). Another approach is the use of sugar‐based excipients (e.g., dextrose, fructose, isomalt, maltitok, maltose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch hydrolyse, polydextrose, and xylitol). 25
  • 26. Which are having high aqueous solubility and sweetness. It impart taste masking and a pleasing mouthfeel. Microcrystalline cellulose, cross linked carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, cross linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone and partially substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, though water insoluble, absorb water and swell due to capillary action and act as effective disintegrants. 26
  • 27. b) Wet granulation Acid component of the effervescent couple presented in the tablet with lower than 5%, quick disintegration times could be achieved. In the patent, the formulation includes polyalcohols (e.g., mannitol, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, erythritol, and lactitol). 1–30% of an edible acid & an active ingredient as the dry mixture wet granulated with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer (e.g., poly(ethylene glycols), carrageenan, and ethylcellulose). 27
  • 28. which consisted of 1–10% of the final weight of the granule in a fluid bed. Granules with high porosity and low apparent density disintegration times ranging from 3 to 30 seconds in the saliva were obtained. 28
  • 29. c) Dry granulation Low-density alkali earth metal salts or watersoluble carbohydrates were precompacted, and the resulting granules were compressed into tablets. Powdered material with a density of 0.2–0.55 g/mL was precompacted to increase the density to 0.4–0.75 g/mL by applying a force ranging from 1 to 9 kN/cm. The resulting granules were compressed into tablets. 29
  • 30. Patented Technologies 1. OraSolv technology OraSolv technology (Cima Labs) produces tablets by low compression pressure It uses an effervescent disintegration pair that releases gas upon contact with water.
