Fast dissolving Tablets are disintegrating and/or dissolve rapidly in the saliva without the need for water. Some tablets are designed to dissolve in saliva remarkably fast, within a few seconds, and are true fast-dissolving tablets. Others contain agents to enhance the rate of tablet disintegration in the oral cavity, and are more appropriately termed fast-disintegrating tablets, as they may take up to a minute to completely disintegrate. Oral delivery is currently the gold standard in the pharmaceutical industry where it is regarded as the safest, most convenient and most economical method of drug delivery having the highest patient compliance. By the addition of piperine in the fast dissolving formulation, its bioavailability increases, hence dosing reduces.

Due to the addition of piperine in the drug, the dose size is reduced, and enhanced the onset of action. Addition of piperine with norfloxacin also increase the antibacterial activity and make them more effective.
