Engineering orally disintegrating tablets for buccal delivery of cilostazol with enhanced dissolution and bioavailability: a novel dual porogenic approach,

Summary: Imagine a pill that dissolves instantly in your cheek, getting medicine into your system faster than ever before. Researchers have developed a new "melt-in-your-mouth" version of Cilostazol, a medication used to improve blood flow that is notoriously hard for the body to absorb. By using a specialized freeze-drying technique—similar to how astronaut ice cream is made—scientists created a sponge-like tablet. This new "Lyo-ODT" formulation dissolves rapidly and releases the drug significantly better than the standard commercial tablets currently on the market, promising faster and more effective relief for patients.
