ABSTRACT-
Acceptability of any drug dosage form mainly depends upon its taste i.e. mouth feel. In the formulation of   oro-dispersible tablet of bitter drug, the main challenge is to mask the bitter taste of drug, because the drug is dispersed and released in mouth. This is more essential in the formulation for pediatric and geriatric, bed ribbon and non-cooperative patients. There are many methods of taste masking but the main objective of this article is to explore method, technology and evaluation to mask taste of bitter drug by ion-exchange resins. Here we will study the formulation and evaluation of various oro-dispersible tablets of bitter drug. This is more economical, easiest and efficient method for taste masking.
