As Ofloxacin is preferably absorbed from the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract and is readily soluble in the acidic environment of the stomach, the floating microspheres of ofloxacin were formulated to develop gastroretentive formulation. These floating microspheres release the drug in the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract and thereby improve the bioavailability. In the present st...

      Several plant extracts and phytoconstituents, despite having excellent bioactivity in vitro, demonstrate less or no in vivo actions due to their poor lipid solubility or improper molecular size or destruction in gut. Drug delivery system for polyphenolic phytoconstituents (phytosomes) was prepared by complexing polyphenolic phytoconstituents with phospholipid mainly phosphatidylcholine wh...

to answer challenge of targeted and controlled drug release in oral delivery various materials were studied by different methods. in the present paper, controlled metal based drug (pd(ii) complex) release manner of β‑lactoglobulin (β-lg) nanoparticles was investigated using mathematical drug release model in order to design and production of a new oral drug delivery system for gastrointestinal ...

The oral route is the best and most popular for administration of drugs in systemic circulation. There are number which given through route. Gastro-retentive drug delivery system very important system. gastro-retentive prolonged time git also improve their bioavailability. These widely used site specific treatment disorders diseases. approaches gastro retentive such as floating system, mucoadhe...

The objective of the present investigation was to design a sustained release floating microcapsules of theophylline using two polymers of different permeability characteristics; Eudragit RL 100 (Eu RL) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) using the oil-in-oil emulsion solvent evaporation method. Polymers were used separately and in combination to prepare different microcapsules. The effect of d...

Effervescent multiple-unit floating drug delivery systems (muFDDSs) consisting of drug (lorsartan)- and effervescent (sodium bicarbonate)-containing pellets were characterized in this study. The mechanical properties (stress and strain at rupture, Young's modulus, and toughness) of these plasticized polymeric films of acrylic (Eudragit RS, RL, and NE) and cellulosic materials (ethyl cellulose (...

Zolmitriptan is the antimigraine agent widely used for treatment of migraine. It shows half-life 2.5 – 3 h which indicate frequent dosing to achieve proper pharmacological action drug. Gastro Retentive Drug Delivery System (GRDDS) a common approach decrease frequency and increase patient compliance, delivery drug through such an floating tablet formulation will meet requirement. This system sho...

A new strategy is proposed for the triple drug treatment (tetracycline, metronidazole and bismuth salt) of Helicobacter pylori associated peptic ulcers. The design of the delivery system was based on the swellable asymmetric triple layer tablet approach, with floating feature in order to prolong the gastric retention time of the delivery system. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and poly(ethylene ox...
