ABSTRACT
Oral route is the most favoured and preferred route for the administration for most of the dosage forms because it offers so many advantages over other routes of administration. Sometimes the oral route is associated with a problem called dysphagia. This condition can be seen in a population of paediatric, geriatric, patients with neurological problems, bedridden patients and so on. In order to overcome such a problem orodispersible tablets will be a better choice, because it will disintegrate within seconds when comes in contact with saliva. Natural agents offers so many advantages like nontoxic, easy availability, low cost, biocompatible and biodegradable in nature over synthetic agents. This superdisintegrants will cause the increase in drug release and decrease the disintegration time. This natural superdisintegrants will be a good option for the preparation of ODTs.
