The present invention features a tablet containing a first layer and a second layer, wherein: (i) the first layer includes a pharmaceutically active agent and the composition of the first layer is different from the composition of the second layer; (ii) the tablet has a density less than about 0.8 g/cc; and (iii) the tablet disintegrates in the mouth when placed on the tongue in less than about 30 seconds.

A compression molding machine includes a first spray device configured to spray an external lubricant to at least one of the inner surface of a die bore, the upper end surface of a lower punch, and the lower end surface of an upper punch, and a second spray device configured to spray a coating agent for blocking a strange taste or an odor of a molded product, or the like, to at least one of the inner surface of the die bore, the upper end surface of the lower punch, and the lower end surface of the upper punch.

The invention relates to an apparatus for inserting at least one object into at least one die of a tableting machine, in which the at least one die is arranged on a reference circle in a turret driven to rotate about a first axis of rotation. The apparatus comprises a second turret that can rotate about a second axis of rotation. The second turret also exhibits at least one object holder, wherein the at least one object holder comprises holding means which enable the at least one object to be picked up, transported and released. The movement path of the at least one object can be controlled radially and tangentially in relation to the rotational movement of the second turret via the at least one object holder, such that the movement path of the at least one object can imitate the movement path of the at least one die, at least over an angular range of rotation of the second turret.
