A rapidly disintegrating orally administered tablet or compressed dosage form containing ethyl cellulose (EC) as a direct tabletable binder, said ethyl cellulose as demonstrated by improved strength, low friability, and low hygroscopicity In addition to enhancing tablet robustness and hydrophobicity, it does not delay disintegration when co-formulated with disintegrants and other water soluble excipients such as sugar alcohols. Shorten the time or make the decay time neutral. |
