Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate previous research on fast-acting pills. Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) have become a rapidly emerging field in the pharmaceutical business over the last ten years. For the administration of many medications, oral drug delivery remains the recommended method. Scientists have developed FDTs with increased patient compliance and convenience during insertion into the mouth because of recent technological advances. For simple administration of active pharmaceutical substances, these tablets crumble or dissolve in the mouth without the use of water. Because of the formulation’s popularity and use, several FDT technologies have been developed. FDTs are solid unit dosage forms that dissolve or disintegrate quickly in the mouth without the use of water or chewing. FDT shines in areas where pediatrics and geriatrics have trouble swallowing traditional tablets and capsules. FDT is a new drug delivery system that is intended for rapid dissolution and action, as well as treating acute illnesses with greater patient compliance. The authors gathered enough data from previous FDT trials. This review article can be used by researchers to quickly obtain latest literature on FDT.
