ABSTRACT: The present investigation deals with development of orally disintegrating tablets of Rizatriptan Benzoate to produce the intended benefits. Orally disintegrating tablets of Rizatriptan Benzoate were prepared by wet granulation method to provide faster relief from pain to migraine sufferers. Formulation research is oriented towards safety, efficacy and quick onset of action of existing drug molecule through novel concept of drug delivery. About four formulations for the present study were carried out full factorial design. Kyron 314 was used as super disintegrants, while microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol was used as diluents. Starch was used as binder. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, drug content and in-vitro dissolution studies. The optimized formulation dispersed in within 15 seconds. It also showed a higher water absorption ratio and 99.67% of drug is released within a minute.
