Development of Orally Dispersible Dosage Forms

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, orally dispersible dosage forms were regarded as high interest research topics and quickly reached the pharmaceutical market as novel patient-centered products. The wide variety of preparation technologies and types of products (i.e., orodispersible tablets/ granules, oral lyophilisates, orodispersible minitablets) led to a dynamic research field that aims to fulfill the administration needs of special groups of patients, such as paediatrics or geriatrics. As the pharmaceutical industry adopts these new products, there is a constant need for innovation in terms of appropriate excipients, product and process development, taste-masking methods, quality assessment methods, and data on end-user perception and acceptability.

This Special Issue wants to map the current research landscape of orally dispersible dosage forms and welcomes original and review papers on all aspects of their design, development, manufacturing, characterization, administration or use.
