Frosta®
Fast Melting Tablet Technology
Fast-melting tablets (also called fast-dissolving tablets, fast disintegrating tablets, and fast-dispersing tablets) have been used quite effectively for easy administration of drugs to elderly and children. Akina has developed a new fast-melting tablet technology, called "Frosta ®."
The Frosta® approach utilizes conventional wet granulation processing and tablet machines for cost-effective production of fast-melting tablets. Frosta tablets are strong with friability much less than 1% and stable in open air environment. Conventional tablet machines are used for production of Frosta tablets, and no other special instruments are necessary.
Because production of the Frosta fast-melting tablets is not any more expensive than making conventional tablets, the Frosta processing technology can be used for almost any drugs and dietary supplements. Examples of Frosta fast-melting tablets are aspirin, loratadine, folic acid/vitamins, and antacids. The unique Frosta processing allows use of drugs that are in the aqueous solution. The cost of making fast melting tablets by Frosta technology is lower than by any other existing technologies.
A Frosta tablet melts in about 10 seconds after placing it in the mouth for easy swallowing.

VIDEOS OF FROSTA TABLETS:
- Close up of initial 8 seconds of melting process (8s, 1.2MB)
- Real time melting of a Frosta tablet (18s, 1.2MB)
- Comparison of melting properties between a commercial product and a Frosta tablet (22s, 1.6MB)
- Melting and complete disintegration of a Frosta tablet by gentle shaking (24s, 3.3MB)
- Melting of a Frosta tablet for easy spreading (30s, 1.7MB)
- Rapid erosion of the surface of a Frosta tablet (21s, 1.5MB)
- Rapid erosion of the surface of two Frosta tablets (27s, 2.1MB)
KEY BENEFITS:
- Fast melting in the mouth (Melting within 5~20 seconds for easy swallowing)
- Extremely cost effective (The same as making conventional tablets)
- Simple processing (One-step wet granulation processing before making tablets)
- Strong mechanical property (Friability less than 1%)
- Multi-tablet packaging possible (Dozens of tablets in one bottle
