FIELD: medicine, pharmacy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a tablet decomposing rapidly in the buccal pocket and comprising a medicinal agent, excipient and saccharide with relatively lower melting point than that of a medicinal agent and excipient. Tablet is made by uniform mixing saccharide with low melting point with tablet mass to form bridge between particles of named medicinal agent and/or excipient through melting product followed by hardening mentioned saccharide with low melting point. Except for, invention relates to a method for making tablet decomposing rapidly in buccal pocket and comprising a medicinal agent, excipient and saccharide with relatively lower melting point than that of medicinal agent and excipient. Method involves: (a) the parent components of tablet comprising a medicinal agent, excipient and saccharide with relatively lower melting point that that of a medicinal agent and excipient are pressed under low pressure to provide the required tablet form; (b) pressed product obtained after stage (a) is heated to temperature when saccharide with low melting point is melted; (c) melted product obtained after stage (b) is cooled to temperature when melted saccharide with low melting point is hardened. Invention represents a tablet decomposing rapidly in buccal pocket and having the tablet strength providing its using in tablet-making machines for dosed formulations and giving the possibility for making tablet using common tablet-making machines, and to a method for making tablets. Except for, invention represents a tablet decomposing rapidly in buccal pocket being this table as compared with common tablets has enhanced tablet strength and improved frangibility without prolonged decomposing time in buccal pocket, and a method for tablet making.
EFFECT: improved making method.
