Fast melt tablets refer to orally disintegrating tablets that disintegrate or dissolve instantaneously in the oral cavity without chewing or the need of water. They are optimally designed to rapidly disintegrate or dissolve in the mouth, thereby facilitating swallowing. Fast melt tablets generally target patients who experience difficulties in swallowing conventional tablets and capsules such as pediatric, geriatric patients, and those with dysphagia. Rapidly dissolving tablets are designed to dissolve and release the drugs in buccal cavity eliminating the need of water for swallowing. This technology offers ease of administration to patients with impaired ability to swallow and enhances patient compliance.
