The invention relates to a method for reducing bitterness of bitter drugs, which
does not cause delay of release rate, does not show reduction of bioavailability
in comparison with conventional pharmaceutical preparations and, due to the use
of additives generally used in the field of pharmaceutical preparation, has high
practical value, and to intrabuccally quick disintegrating tablets having reduced
bitterness of bitter drugs. Illustratively, it relates to an intrabuccally quick
disintegrating tablet which comprises a bitter drug and a water-insoluble substance
having an average particle size of 30 m or less, wherein the water-insoluble
substance disperses as particles on the tongue surface prior to the release of
the bitter drug.
