  • Publication number: 20100092564
    Abstract: An improved orally dissolving tablet (ODT) and method of manufacture is provided. The improved ODT disclosed herein are prepared by direct compression of a mixture of pharmaceutical excipients including at least one water-insoluble hydrophobic inorganic salt in combination with at least one water-insoluble inorganic salt with less hydrophobicity compared to the water-insoluble hydrophobic inorganic salt component. These components may be formed into granules, and may include other commonly used excipients. In an illustrative embodiment, the granules are formed into tablets by direct compression, optionally using a lubricant. The fast disintegrating tablets prepared using these components exhibit desirable performance properties such as sufficient hardness, low friability, quick disintegration time and good mouth-feel when compared to conventional ODT. A further advantage is that the improved ODT may be manufactured using commonly available manufacturing equipment for granulation, blending and tableting.
