Orodispersible drug delivery systems are used to improve how much of a drug is absorbed by the body and to make it easier for patients to take their medication. Orodispersible tablets, a new type of medicine, quickly break down in the mouth (within 1-3 minutes) when taken orally, without needing to be chewed or swallowed with water. Compared to regular tablets and capsules, orodispersible tablets (ODT) have gained attention over the past three decades because they offer better patient compliance, increased solubility, and stability. Orodispersible tablets have the special characteristic of rapidly disintegrating within seconds when placed on the tongue, as they mainly consist of medicinal substances in solid form. This innovative ODT technology improves the overall treatment experience for patients, especially those with difficulties swallowing, such as children, older adults, and individuals with psychiatric conditions. This advancement in technology has motivated the academic and industry sectors to develop new ways to formulate and evaluate orally disintegrating medications that will be beneficial for future drug candidates.
