An object of the present invention is to provide an orally disintegrating tablet (ultrafast-disintegrating tablet) having an extremely high disintegrability (short disintegration time), and a high tablet hardness, and to provide a simple method for the production of said ultrafast-disintegrating tablet without such a complicated process as freeze-drying.This invention relates to an orally disintegrating tablet comprising a first disintegrator component of an acid-type carboxymethylcellulose, and having a tablet hardness of 10 N or more and a disintegration time in water of less than 15 seconds, a method for the production of said orally disintegrating tablet, and to a disintegrative particulate composition for use in said method.
