A method is used in the production of a disintegrative particulate composition including three components consisting of a first disintegrator component having sedimentation volume in water of 4.0 cm3/g or more, and a second disintegrator component other than the first disintegrator component and an excipient. The method includes a first wet granulation step using any two of the three components, and a second wet granulation step using the granules obtained in the first wet granulation step and at least the component not used in the first wet granulation step； thus the disintegrative particulate composition is produced. Moreover, an orally disintegrating tablet contains a medicinal ingredient and the disintegrative particulate composition.
