This article compares orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) with standard tablets (STs), highlighting their respective advantages and challenges. ODTs offer improved patient compliance, especially for pediatric, geriatric, and dysphagic populations, by disintegrating rapidly in the mouth without water. However, they require careful formulation to balance mechanical strength, taste masking, and stability. Standard tablets remain preferred for their robustness, ease of manufacturing, and cost-effectiveness. The article underscores formulation considerations, excipient selection, and manufacturing processes essential for successfully developing ODTs that meet regulatory and patient needs.
