Abstract
An orally administrable uncompressed rapidly dissolving molded dosage form comprises a drug and either one or more saccharides or one saccharide and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Saccarides are chosen and used in proportion based on their solubilities. Methods for producing uncompressed rapidly dissolving solid preparations comprise mixing a drug and carriers according to the present invention and charging the mixture in a mold. Rapidly dissolving oral dosage forms facilitate administration of drugs to patients having a difficulty in swallowing such as children and the elderly.
