Orally disintegrating granules (ODGs) dissolve in the mouth, in contrast to conventional tablets which must be swallowed whole. ODGs are an alternative for patients who experience dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) or where compliance is an issue.

Over the last decade, ODGs have become available in a variety of therapeutic markets, both OTC and Rx (by prescription). ODGs also offer the convenience that they can be taken anywhere and anytime, without water.
