        abstract = {Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) have emerged as a novel drug delivery system aimed at enhancing patient compliance, especially among pediatric, geriatric, and dysphagic populations. Anti-cholinergic drugs, which are primarily used to treat a variety of conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory diseases, Parkinson's disease, and urinary incontinence, often present challenges in traditional dosage forms due to side effects and delayed onset of action. The development of FDTs for anti-cholinergic drugs addresses these issues by providing rapid drug disintegration and absorption, thus ensuring faster therapeutic action and improved bioavailability. This review provides a comprehensive examination of fast dissolving tablet technologies, including various formulation methods such as direct compression, lyophilization, sublimation, and melt granulation. It also covers evaluation parameters critical to FDT development, such as disintegration time, drug release profile, mechanical strength, and taste masking. A detailed analysis of current literature highlights recent advances in the formulation of anti-cholinergic FDTs and evaluates their therapeutic potential. The review concludes by discussing current challenges and future directions for optimizing these systems for clinical use.},
