An Overview on Emerging Trends in Immediate Release Tablet Technologies

Abstract

Tablet is the most popular among all dosage forms existing today because of its convenience of self-administration, compactness and easy manufacturing; however in many cases immediate onset of action is required than conventional therapy. To overcome these drawbacks, immediate release pharmaceutical dosage form has emerged as alternative oral dosage forms. The basic

approach used in development tablets is the use of superdisintegrant, Tablet molding technique, Direct compression technique, Granulation technique, Mass extrusion technique which provide instantaneous disintegration of tablet after administration. The recent development in immediate release tablets such as Novel granulation technologies, electrostatic dry powder coating process, Novel Hole Technology in Fast Dissolving Tablets, Hot-Melt Extrusion and Injection Molding also provides an opportunity for a line extension in the market place. Now a day, immediate release formulations are similar to many sustained release formulations that are now commonly available.
