Abstract
The invention relates to a method of manufacture of fast-disintegrating solid dosage forms, characterized in that one or more structure building components in mixed solid powder form are dosed into cavities of blister packs or moulds, the remaining components dissolved in water dosed and added to the powder to form a moistened, plasticized mass, frozen to below −20° C., and the water sublimed in high vacuum. In this way solid dosage forms are obtained with a similar porous structure as usually result from freeze drying processes, but the process requires much less water, which means considerably less time and less energy.
