The aim of this study was to prepare Fast disintegrating tablet containing Hydrochlorothiazide by using Natural disintegrants. The tablets were prepared using micro crystalline cellulose as diluent and aspartame as sweetening agent along with Natural super disintegrant. The superdisintegrant used in this study was Isapghula mucilage and Banana powder. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, water absorption ratio and disintegration time (DT) and

From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the tablet formulation prepared with 8% with Isapghula mucilage ie. 8 mg showed fast and higher drug release (97.68%) during in vitro dissolution study. Also the hardness, friability, dissolution rate and assay of prepared tablets (batch F8) were found to be acceptable according to standard limits.
