Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) have revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry as a promising drug delivery system due to their ability to improve patient compliance. FDTs are designed to dissolve rapidly in the oral cavity without the need for water, making them ideal for patients with swallowing difficulties or on-the-go medication administration. They offer a rapid onset of action due to absorption in the pre-gastric area, leading to improved bioavailability. FDTs have advantages such as ease of administration, accurate dosing, improved patient compliance, and rapid onset of action, but also have disadvantages such as taste-masking issues and stability concerns. FDTs are prepared using two technologies: conventional technology and patented technology. Conventional technology includes freeze-drying or lyophilization, sublimation, spray drying, tablet molding, mass extrusion, direct compression, cotton-candy process, nanotization, fast dissolving films, and melt granulation. These techniques can be evaluated using various parameters such as shape, size, thickness, diameter, weight variation, friability, wetting time, hardness of tablet, in vitro/vivo disintegration time, dissolution test, stability study, and drug content.
