Figure 1. Global Orodispersible Tablets Market Share (%), By Region, 2023

Orodispersible tablets (ODTs) are solid unit dosage forms that disintegrate or dissolve rapidly in the mouth without chewing and without the need for water. The demand for this dosage form has been increasing, especially in pediatric and geriatric patient populations who find swallowing conventional tablets difficult or uncomfortable. ODTs are formulated from various excipients including binders and disintegrants. The most common binders are methacrylic acid copolymers that have high internal strength to support the formulation of high dose drugs. These also have the property of water resistance, and are less sensitive to moisture than standard tablet formulations. The most popular disintegrants are mannitol and aspartame. Orodispersible tablets (ODTs) are a specialized dosage form designed to disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity, often within a matter of seconds, without the need for additional water or chewing. This unique pharmaceutical formulation is primarily intended to improve patient compliance and convenience, particularly for those who have difficulty swallowing traditional solid oral dosage forms like tablets or capsules. ODTs are commonly used to administer medications, including pain relievers, antihistamines, and treatments for various medical conditions, especially when quick onset of action is essential.
