Gastroretentive drug delivery systems: a patent perspective

Gastroretentive drug delivery systems: a review

The purpose of writing this review on gastroretentive drug delivery systems was to compile the recent literature with special focus on various gastroretentive approaches that have recently become leading methodologies in the field of site-specific orally administered controlled release drug delivery. In order to understand various physiological difficulties to achieve gastric retention, we have...

Gastroretentive Drug Delivery Systems: a Promising Approach

Gastroretentive Drug Delivery Systems: A Review of Formulation Approaches

Gastroretentive dosage forms (GRDF) has received significant interest in the past few decades as they can improve the limitation of most conventional and oral controlled release drug delivery system related to fast gastric-emptying time. An optimum GRDF system can be defined as a system which retains in the stomach for a sufficient time interval against all the physiological barriers, releases ...

Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System - a Review

Oral delivery of drugs is by far the most preferable route of drug delivery . Oral-rate controlled drug delivery systems have an important area among novel drug delivery system. But these oral sustained release drug delivery systems suffer greatly due to their short gastric residence time/ gastric emptying time. Whereas prolonged gastric residence increases duration of drug release, reduces dru...

Gastroretentive Microparticles for Drug Delivery Applications Gastroretentive Microparticles for Drug Delivery Applications

Many strategies have been proposed to explore the possibility of exploiting gastroretention for drug delivery. Such systems would be useful for local delivery, for drugs that are poorly soluble at higher pH or primarily absorbed from the proximal small intestine. Generally, the requirements of such strategies are that the vehicle maintains controlled drug release and exhibits prolonged residenc...
