A fast-disintegrating dosage form has been developed as a user-friendly formulation that disintegrates in the mouth immediately. Patients can take it without water like a liquid formulation. In this study famotidine taste-masking technology was applied to the new fast-disintegrating tablet in an attempt to produce a novel, taste-masked, fast-disintegrating tablet. Partial granulation was found to be an effective and practical way to address content uniformity, however, oral disintegration time tended to become longer as content uniformity improved. The disintegration time was improved considerably by controlling ambient humidity during the compression process (>50% RH). Furthermore, since the new fast-disintegrating technology made it possible to use low compression force, there was no change in the structure or dissolution rate of the taste-masked particles after compression. Therefore, this system can produce a taste-masked fast-disintegrating tablet with satisfactory attributes.

Objective: The objective of this study is to create predictive models utilizing machine learning algorithms, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machines (SVM), and linear regression, to predict critical quality attributes (CQAs) such as hardness, friability, and disintegration time of fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs).
Methods: A dataset of 864 batches of FDTs was generated by varying binder types and amounts, disintegrants, diluents, punch sizes, and compression forces. Preprocessing steps included normalizing numerical features based on industry standards, one-hot encoding for categorical variables, and addressing outliers to ensure data consistency.

This study investigates the transformation of neat starch (NS) from mung beans into porous starch (PS) for the formulation of fast-disintegrating tablets (FDTs) using the sublimation technique, contrasting their performance with superdisintegrants such as sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and croscarmellose sodium (CS). Camphor was used as a sublimating agent. The interaction between drug and excipients was analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), while preformulation assessments were conducted on powder blends.

The aim was to employ site-dependent absorption of mirabegron (MB) as a guide for fabrication of oral disintegrating controlled release tablet (ODCRT) which undergoes instantaneous release of loading fraction followed by delayed release of the rest of MB. The goal was to release MB in a manner consistent with the chronobiology of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. In situ rabbit intestinal permeability of MB was adopted to assess absorption sites.
