Recent Development in Floating Delivery Systems for Gastric Retention of Drugs An Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) is aimed to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. The recent developments of FDDS such as physiological and formulation variables affecting gastric retention, approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, and their classification and formulation aspects are covered in detail. This review also summarizes the in vitro techniques, in vivo studies to evaluate the performance and application of floating systems, and applications of these systems. It is concluded that, these systems are useful to resolve several problems encountered during the development of a pharmaceutical dosage form

Oral controlled release systems are designed to release the drug in-vivo with prediction so as to increase efficacy, minimize adverse effects and increase bioavailability of drugs. Floating drug delivery systems (FDDSs) are expected to remain buoyant in a lasting way upon the gastric contents. The various buoyant preparations include hollow microspheres, granules, powders, tablets, capsules, pi...

Despite the tremendous advancement in drug delivery, oral route remains the preferred route for the administration due to higher levels of patient compliance. But conventional forms offer no control over drug delivery, leading to fluctuations in plasma drug level. These have a disadvantage of a release all or nothing emptying process while the multiple unit particulate system pass through the g...
