The purpose of writing this review on evaluation tests that can be done for floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to amass the literature presenting the evaluation tests of various dosage forms that comes under FDDS. With advancements in the technology various dosage forms were designed in such a way that they reside in the stomach for a prolonged period of time releasing the drug at predet...

Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems interact with the mucus layer covering the mucosal epithelial surface, and mucin molecules and increase the residence time of the dosage form at the site of absorption. The drugs which have local action or those which have maximum absorption in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) require increased duration of stay in GIT. Thus, mucoadhesive dosage forms are advantage...

the present investigation deals with the development of controlled release tablets of salbutamol sulphate using graft copolymers (st-g-pmma and ast-g-pmma) of starch and acetylated starch. drug excipient compatibility was spectroscopically analyzed via ft-ir, which confirmed no interaction between drug and other excipients. formulations were evaluated for physical characteristics like hardness,...

Objective: The present work was undertaken with the aim to develop and validate a rapid and consistent RP-HPLC method in which the peaks will be appear with short period of time as per ICH Guidelines. Methods: The proposed method was simple, fast, accurate and precise method for the Quantification of drug in the dosage form, bulk drug as well as for routine analysis in Quality control. Reversed...

Introduction In vitro dissolution testing is a critical component in the assessment of quality of a pharmaceutical product and for the validation of the development and manufacturing process of a product (1). Dissolution testing is also used to assess the rate at which a drug is released from a dosage form,as it provides a manufacturer with a rational basis on which to predict in vivo behaviour...

In order to increase the bioavailability of poorly soluble drug as well as highly soluble drug, the residence time of the orally administered dosage form in the upper GIT needs to be prolonged. Gelucire are used as carrier for designing low density floating drug delivery system. Glibenclamide is a low dose, poorly soluble drug with possible content uniformity problems and dissolution rate-limit...
