A rapidly disintegrating, orally administered tablet or compressed dosage form, comprising ethylcellulose (EC) as a directly compressible binder whic h enhances tablet robustness as manifested by improved strength, lower friab ility, lower hygroscopicity and yet, hydrophobic nature notwithstanding, doe s not retard disintegration, but shortens disintegration time or is disinteg ration time neutral when co-formulated with disintegrants and other water-so luble excipients such as sugar alcohols. |
