Design and evaluation of gastro retentive bi-layer floating tablet.

      Аннотация: In the- recent years, scientific and technological advancements have been made in the research and development of novel drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological troubles such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Several approaches are currently utilized in the prolongation of the gastric residence times, including floating drug deliverysystems, swelling and expanding systems, polymeric bio-adhesive systems, modified-shape systems, high-density systems and other delayed gastric emptying devices.The management of illness through medication is entering a new era in which growing number of novel drug delivery systems are being employed and are available for therapeutic use. Oral sustained release gastro-retentive dosage forms (GRDFs) offer many advantages for drugs with absorption from upper parts of gastrointestinal tract and for those acting locally in the stomach, improving the bioavailability of the medication.
