Most of drugs intended to be delivered with Orally Disintegrating Tablets show unpleaseant or bitter taste which can seriously affect patient compliance and reduce marketing success.

In order to avercome this issue, Physica Pharma has developed OptiMask®, a taste masking technology for solid dosage forms, in particular for Orally Disintegrating Tablets

OptiMask® Technology

     
         
 

The technology consists in creating a matrix between the drug and a masking agent. During the process, the masking agent is finely mixed with the drug. This process ensures a protective environment around the drug thus avoiding its direct contact with the tongue, without modifying its dissolution profile.
