The aim of this article was to choose the optimal ingredients for oral disintegrating tablets of bambuterol hydrochloride (BBH) and use a novel approach to measure disintegration time. The disintegration time measured by a new approach was compared with disintegration time measured in oral cavity and conventional disintegration test. The result shows that the new apparatus is suitable for measuring the disintegration time. The effect of ingredients (diluents, disintegrants and adhesives) on the characteristics of the tablets was investigated. The orally disintegrating tablets of BBH were prepared by wet granulation. The results showed that the optimum proportion was 10 mg BBH, 100 mg lactose, 80 mg MCC, 10 mg crospovidone (PVPP), 2 mg aspartame, 2 mg DL-malic acid. The orally disintegrating tablet disintegrated rapidly, tasted good and could be taken convenient.
