USPTO Abstract

The present invention provides an intraoral quickly disintegrating tablet containing a phosphodiesterase inhibitor having an effect of improving the erectile dysfunction and a method for manufacturing the tablet. The present invention also provides an intraoral quickly disintegrating tablet containing a slightly soluble pharmaceutical agent having an improved solubility and a method for manufacturing the tablet. That is, it is an intraoral quickly disintegrating tablet containing a cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor and a saccharide, and a method for manufacturing the tablet. Further, it is a method for manufacturing an intraoral quickly disintegrating tablet, which comprises dissolving a slightly soluble pharmaceutical agent in an organic solvent or an aqueous organic solvent together with a surfactant and/or a water-soluble polymer, coating the solution on a filler or granulating it with a filler to obtain molded products, mixing a saccharide with them, adding an organic solvent, water or an aqueous organic solvent thereto, followed by kneading, and subjecting it to a compression-molding.
