Ludiflash—A Novel Excipient for Patient Friendly Dosage Form

Abstract

Consumers want a pleasant-tasting and fast-acting tablet that can be taken anywhere, anytime without the need of water. They want such a tablet that completely disintegrates within moments, with no bitterness or chalky aftertaste. FDTs fast disintegrating tablets are the dosage form which will disintegrate in mouth within seconds without need of water. This type of property in dosage form can be attained by addition of different varieties of excipients. But the number of fillers/binders/disintegrant which can be used for FDT formulations is limited because these bulk excipients have to fulfill special requirements, such as being soluble in water, pleasant taste, mouth feel, sweetness and rapid dispersibility. With Ludiflash, that is exactly what they get. This is one of the novel excipient for fast dissolving drug delivery which disintegrant rapidly within seconds with soft, creamy consistency. It is specially designed for direct compression on standard high speed tablet machine for hard tablet with very low friability. Ludiflash have good flow ability, less water absorption and no segregation of the active ingredients. As a result, it can be easily processed. Ludiflash decreases costs because it acts as All-in-one system (filler, binder and disintegrant), lower storage costs (one material, not three), lower analysis costs, faster product development, faster process validation. It acts as patient friendly because it disintegrates in the mouth within seconds with creamy and smooth mouth feel, neutral to mildly sweet, pleasant taste, and suitable for pharmaceutical medicine and nutritional supplements.
