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. Orodispersible 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. Though several superdisintegrants are available for thr formulation of orodispersible tablets, there is continous need of investigationg new superdisintegrants which are cost effective and safe which can be used in the formulation of orodispersible tablets of poorly soluble drugs. The present work was aimed at preparing a novel superdisintegrant (starch tartrate) which can be used in the formulation of orodispersible tablets for more effective action of poorly soluble drugs.
