Formulation and Development of Ibuprofen Floating Tablet
Abstract: The investigation focused on optimizing a gastric floating drug delivery system (GFDDS) for Ibuprofen tablets. It employed polymers like HPMC K4M and Carbopol 940 to improve Ibuprofen's bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. GFDDS, with lower bulk density than gastric fluids, remains buoyant in the stomach, extending gastric residence time. Compatibility assessments, via DSC analysis, indicated harmony between the polymers used, with no observed interaction between the polymer and the drug. The …

Design and Development of Novel Floating Drug Delivery Systems
Abstract: Recent advances in science and technology have greatly aided in the creation of novel drug delivery methods, especially in addressing physiological issues including irregular stomach emptying times and brief stomach residence periods. Long-term stomach absorption is the goal of gastro-retentive dosage forms (GRDF). Floating drug delivery systems, expanding or swelling systems, polymer-based bioadhesive systems, high-density systems, and other ways that postpone stomach emptying are just a few of the techniques …

Formulation and Development of pH Sensitive Drug Delivery Systems for Antihyperglycemic Drugs
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to develop a pH sensitive gastroretentive drug delivery system for an anti-diabetic drug pioglitazone HCl based on gas formation technique using 32 factorial design, in order to prolong the gastric residence time and increase the overall bioavailability of the dosage form, since the absorption is erratic in diabetic patients. The system consists of the drug loaded pellets which is coated with two different …

Gastro Retentive Drug Target System: Its Needs, Advantages, Limitation and Approaches
Abstract: Background: Gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) address limitations of oral therapy for drugs with poor solubility, instability at intestinal pH, or narrow absorption windows by prolonging gastric residence and increasing contact with the gastric mucosa. Objectives: To review GRDDS approaches—floating systems, mucoadhesive systems, and super porous hydrogels—with emphasis on formulation strategies and polymer–excipient selection to enhance gastric retention, modulate buoyancy/swelling/adhesion, and ultimately improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes for …

Formulation and Evaluation of Gastroretentive Bilayered Floating Tablets of Famotidine: Effect of Formulation Variables and in vitro in vivo Evaluation
Abstract: The present investigation concerns the development of bilayered floating tablets of famotidine for prolongation of gastric residence time. An attempt was made to prepare bilayered floating tablets of famotidine by direct compression method. Two layered formulations were designed with an immediate release layer (IR) comprising of the drug, the super disintegrant Croscarmellose sodium along with the other diluents like microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate. Three batches of immediate release layer …
