Dispersible Tablets
Fast-acting, patient-friendly oral dosage form
What are Dispersible Tablets?
Dispersible tablets are a solid oral dosage form designed to disintegrate and disperse rapidly in water or saliva, forming a fine suspension that can be easily swallowed. They offer a convenient alternative for patients who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets or capsules. Dispersible tablets are uncoated or film-coated tablets intended to be dispersed in water before administration, forming a homogeneous dispersion for oral intake. They are specifically designed for patients who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets, such as children, the elderly, or bedridden patients. The European Pharmacopeia defines dispersible tablets as those that must dissolve in water (15–25°C) within three minutes
