Abstract

At present, there are several solid unit dosage form such as capsule, tablets and many- more, but for high bioavailability and for emergencies conditions, the fast disintegrating tablets by sublingual route is preferred. And for its better performance the natural polymer shows its great efficacy to overcome the limitations of the synthetic polymers as a superdisintegrants in FDT. Natural polymer like starch, Fenugreek seed mucilage, mango peel pectin, Guar gum, Isapghula Husk, Soy polysaccharides, Chitosan etc. are used generally as a superdisintegrant in various pharmaceutical preparation to increase its bioavailability.
