A directly compressed orodispersible tablet comprises 0.1 to 50% of a ungranulated active agent (w/w), 10 to 80% of a sugar-based direct compression base, and 10 to 80% of a microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) direct compression base, and has a hardness of at least 60N, and a disintegration time of less than 40 seconds. The sugar-based direct compression base is a DC sugar alcohol, especially direct compression mannitol, and the MCC base is a silicified MCC, especially a Prosolv. The active is a hydrophobic active, typically a high-dose active. Also disclosed is a method of producing an orodispersible tablet comprising the steps of directly compressing a mixture of components at a compression force of at least 5 k N to form the tablet, wherein the mixture of components comprises 0.1 to 50% of an active agent (w/w), 10 to 80% of a sugar-based direct compression base (w/w); and 10 to 80% of a microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) direct compression base (w/w).
