The most commonly used of route of drug administration is oral route. But pediatric and geriatric patients have difficulty in swallowing or chewing solid dosage forms. Fast dissolving dosage forms finds their application in pediatric and geriatric patients due to ease of administration which requires no water for administration and also offers rapid onset of action, improved bioavailability. The present work was aimed at preparing a novel superdisintegrant in the formulation of fast dissolving tablets, though several superdisintegrants are available, there is continous need of investigationg new superdidntegrants which are cost effective and safe and also optimizing the concentration new superdisintegrant (starch butyrate) in the formulation of fast dissolving tablets by using 23 – factorial design.
