Definition
ODTs are solid dosage forms containingmedicinal substances which disintegraterapidly, usually in a matter of seconds,when placed on the tongue.
Products of ODT technologies entered themarket in the 1980s
The first ODT form of a drug to get approvalfrom the U.S. FDA was a Zydis ODTformulation of Claritin (loratadine) inDecember 1996.

Need for ODTs
Orally disintegrating dosage forms are
particularly suitable for patients find it
inconvenient to swallow traditional tablets andcapsules with glass of water.
Pediatric and geriatric patients
Patients who are unwilling to take solid
preparation due to fear of choking
A patient with persistent nausea, who may be
in journey, or has little or no access to water
Increased bioavailability and faster onset of
action are a major claim of these formulations.

Advantages of ODTs
1) Good for patients with swallowing difficulties.
2) Good for paediatric compliance
3) Convenient to administer during travelling orworking without need of water
4) The pre-gastric drug absorption avoids the first-pass metabolism

Formulation methodology Freeze Drying
A process in which water is sublimated from the product after freezing. Lyophilizationis a pharmaceutical technology which allows drying of heat sensitive drugs andbiological at low temperature under conditions that allow removal of water bysublimation.
Lyophilization results in preparations, which are highly porous, with a very high
specific surface area, which dissolve rapidly and show improved absorption andbioavailability.
Moulding
In this method, molded tablets are prepared by using water-soluble ingredients so thatthe tablets dissolve completely and rapidly.
The powder blend is moistened with a hydro-alcoholic solvent and is molded intotablets under pressure lower than that used in conventional tablet compression.
The solvent is then removed by air-drying. Molded tablets are very less compact thancompressed tablets. These possess porous structure that enhances dissolution.

Formulation methodology
Sublimation
The slow dissolution of the compressed tablet containing evenhighly water-soluble ingredients is due to the low porosity of thetablets. Inert solid ingredients that volatilize readily(e.g. urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, camphor etc.)
were added to the other tablet ingredients and the mixture iscompressed into tablets.
The volatile materials were then removed via sublimation, whichgenerates porous structures.
Additionally, several solvents (e.g. cyclohexane, benzene) can be
also used as pore forming agents.
Direct Compression
All the excipients along with the active are weighed, sieved andcompressed to form tablets.

Patented TechnologiesFor Fast
Dissolving TabletsZydisTechnology
A Zydis tablet is produced by lyophilizing or freeze-drying the drug in amatrix usually consisting of gelatin.
The product is very lightweight and fragile, and must be dispensed in aspecial blister pack.
Patients should be advised not to push the tablets through the foil film,but instead peel the film back to release the tablet.
The Zydis product is made to dissolve on the tongue
in 2 to 3 seconds.

Cont.
Durasolv Technology
The tablets made by this technology consist of a drug, fillers and a lubricant.
Tablets are prepared by using conventional tableting equipment and have good
rigidity.
These can be packed into conventional packaging system like blisters.
Durasolv is an appropriate technology for products requiring low amounts of
active ingredients.
Parcopa (levodopa and carbidopa)
NuLev (hyoscyamine)
Orasolv Technology
In this system active medicament is taste masked.
It also contains effervescent disintegrating agent.
Tablets are made by direct compression technique at low compression force inorder to minimize oral dissolution time.
Conventional blenders and tablet machine is used to produce the tablets.
The tablets produced are soft and friable and packaged in specially designed pick
and place system.

Cont
Flash Dose Technology- Nurofen meltlet, a new form of ibuprofen as melt-in-mouth
tablets, prepared using flash dose technology is the first
commercial product launched by Biovail Corporation.
- Flash dose tablets consists of self binding shearform matrix
termed as "floss". Shear form matrices are prepared by flashheat processing.
Wowtab Technology- WOW means "Without Water ".
- In this process, combination of low mouldability saccharides
and high mouldability saccharides is used to obtain a rapidly
melting strong tablet.
- The active ingredient is mixed with a low mouldability
saccharide and granulated with a high mouldability
saccharide and compressed into tablet.

Conclusion
Orally disintegrating tablets have better
patient acceptance and compliance and
may offer improved biopharmaceutical
properties, improved efficacy, and bettersafety compared with conventional oral
dosage forms.
ODTs are more widely available as OTC
products for the treatment of allergies,cold, and flu symptoms.
