In the production of tablets which are to undergo disintegration in use wherein the tablet components are mixed and pressed into predetermined shape, the improvement which comprises incorporating into the mix at least one inert readily volatilizable solid adjuvant, pressing the mix into shape, and thereafter volatilizing the adjuvant, whereby the resulting tablets are porous, strong, shape retaining and readily disintegratable. Volatilization can be effected by sublimation or application of vacuum. The adjuvant preferably comprises urethane, urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, hexamethylene-tetramine, benzoic acid, phthalic anhydride, naphthalene or camphor present in about 5 to 50 percent, especially about 10 to 30 percent, by weight of the total tablet mix. |
