Recent Trends in developments of Superdisintegrants: An Overview
Abstract
Fast dissolving tablets are solid unit dosage forms that dissolve or disintegrate quickly in the mouth without using water. To provide this type of character in a dosage form, different excipients are required. Superdisintegrants are a class of novel agents that have emerged in recent years. Improving drug bioavailability in the pharmaceutical field is a challenge. The inclusion of superdisintegrants in the formulation enhances the formulation's efficacy. The main goal of this review article is to highlight current development in the superdisintegrants. Novel medication delivery techniques have recently advanced, resulting in a convenient dosage form for administration. New superdisintegrant formulations have recently investigated. These formulations are used to ensure patient compliance and safer, more effective drug delivery. This overview of superdisintegrants covers developed strategies, types (including synthetic and natural materials), dosage forms and techniques.
