To overcome these drawbacks, immediate release pharmaceutical dosage form has emerged as alternative oral dosage forms. The basic approach used in development tablets is the use of superdisintegrant, Tablet molding technique, Direct compression technique, Granulation technique, Mass extrusion technique which provide instantaneous disintegration of tablet after administration. The recent development in immediate release tablets such as Novel granulation technologies, electrostatic dry powder coating process, Novel Hole Technology in Fast Dissolving Tablets, Hot-Melt Extrusion and Injection Molding also provides an opportunity for a line extension in the market place. Now a day, immediate release formulations are similar to many sustained release formulations that are now commonly available.
