A process for the tabletting direct from powder form without intervening granulation of a composition containing an active compound having sterilizing, bactericidal or pharmaceutical properties, said tablet producing an effervescent action when contacted with water, the process consisting of direct compression in the absence of substantial wetting of a homogenous powdered admixture consisting essentially of said active compound, an alkali metal bicarbonate for carbon dioxide liberation to generate effervescent action, and a solid, water soluble, aliphatic carboxylic acid or acid salt thereof in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate also in powder form, but not primarily for effervescent action to form a stable, soluble and hard tablet composition.
