Abstract

The main motto of working on that article on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) is to make a compiled report on the recent studies and research with special consideration on the principle mechanism of flotation to achieve gastric retention. The scientiﬁc and technological advancements were made in the last few years in the research and development of rate-controlled oral drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological difficulties, like short gastric residence times (GRT) and unpredictable gastric emptying times (GET). This review also epitomized the in-vitro procedure, in-vivo to assess the pursuance and implementation of floating systems, and applications of these systems. These methods are useful to various queries experienced during the development of a pharmaceutical dosage form.
