Abstract
Described are non-friable, rapidly disintegrating, fast-dissolving solid dosage forms that are produced from pharmaceutically acceptable steam extruded polymers. The solid dosage forms dissolve in the mouth and are particularly useful for subjects that require or desire oral medication but have difficulty swallowing standard oral dosage forms such as tablets or in subjects suffering from emesis. The solid dosage forms are also useful for rapid drug delivery as vaginal or rectal suppositories or for oral delivery of veterinary drugs.
