Abstract
Oral drug administration is the most acceptable and prescribable method in terms of patient compliance. Pharmaceutical companies are creating innovative drug delivery methods in response to the requirement to provide medications to patients as effectively as possible while minimising negative effects. Nowadays, a few solid dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, are dealing with issues such as dysphagia, which causes difficulties swallowing and leads to a high rate of non-compliance, ultimately rendering the therapy useless. An innovative dosage form called rapid melt tablets has been created to address these issues. Rapid melt tablets breakdown and disintegrate quickly in saliva, making them easy to swallow without the need for water. The fundamental method used in the development of rapid melt tablets is the utilisation of superdisintegrants such as croscarmellose sodium, crosspovidone, or formulations that maximise pore structure. Compared to traditional dosage forms, a rapid melt tablet offers a number of benefits. This review describes in detail advantages, disadvantages, significance, conventional methods of preparation, some patented technologies, and marketed formulations of rapid melt tablets.
