What is ODT?
An Orodispersible Tablet (ODT) is a solid dosage form that rapidly disintegrates in the mouth without any need of water. It typically dissolves within 30 seconds or less when placed on the tongue, allowing the active drug to be swallowed easily with saliva.

ODTs are especially useful for:
- Children, Elderly & Psychiatric patients
- Patients with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Patients needing medication on-the-go
- Palliative care & Care home patients
- Patients with Developmental or Cognitive impairments
- Situations where water is not readily available
ODTs are designed using specialized excipients such as superdisintegrants that facilitate quick breakdown of the tablet upon contact with moisture.
