ABSTRACT

The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. The recent developments of FDDS including the physiological and formulation variables affecting gastric retention, approaches to design ion exchange resin floating systems, and their classification also covered in detail. This project also summarizes the in vitro techniques, in vivo studies to evaluate the performance and application of floating systems, and natural and synthetic drug used in FDDS. In review also covered information about future Potential.

Keywords: Floating Drug Delivery System, Ion Exchange Resin System.
