Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a tablet that dissolves rapidly in the oral cavity (fast soluble tablets) that can be produced by a simple method without special preparation technology. The present invention is a fast soluble tablet which comprises two features: 1 the tablet base component is a sugar alcohol or the like, and 2 a kneaded mixture of a drug and a sugar alcohol or the like is subjected to compressive shaping prior to drying in the process when compressive shaped for preparing tablets by wet granulation. The fast soluble tablet of the present invention can be produced by a modification of the conventional tableting method, and possesses sufficient physico-chemical stability.
