Description
Summary:Orodispersible dosage forms are intended to be placed on tongue where, in contact with limited saliva volume, fast disintegration, followed by facilitated swallowing, occurred. Intraoral disintegration might be accompanied by drug release and dissolution in oral cavity. Dissolved drug could interact with receptors on taste buds causing taste sensation. The most important critical quality attributes of orodispersible dosage forms are acceptable mechanical resistance, fast disintegration and pleasant taste which have to be monitored and evaluated during formulation development and production. However, compendial methods for orodispersible dosage forms characterization are still lacking, while many authors attempt to develop different, more suitable approaches. The highest variability during determination of disintegration properties is observed. It can be concluded that for the proper disintegration assessment influence of tongue force have to be considered, especially in the case of different polymeric orodispersible films. For reliable development of in vivo study for evaluation of tastemasking efficacy, proper selection and training of panelists accompanied by bitterness threshold determination are of the utmost importance. In order to correlate in vitro and in vivo data, it is necessary to develop analytical method for evaluation of taste-masking efficacy that mimic, in great extent, physiological intraoral conditions.
