The most generally used method of administration is oral, and different age groups employ different solid oral dosage forms, particularly tablets. Mini tablets for pharmaceutical use have a diameter of 1-4 mm. Mini tablets are more convenient to make than pellets and come in many unit dosage formats. There are numerous varieties of mini-tablets available, including oral disintegrating mini-tablets, gastro-retentive mini-tablets, pH-responsive mini-tablets, bio-adhesive mini-tablets, and pediatric mini-tablets. This dose type primarily lessens subject variation. The review includes information on the benefits of mini-tablets, their varieties, their production process and related difficulties, coatings for mini-tablets, and mini-tablet evaluation.
