the main objective of the present study was to formulate gastroretentive effervescent sustained release drug delivery systems of risperidone floating tablets with the help of methocel® k15, ethocel® standard 7fp premium, eudragit ® rs100 sustained release polymers to improve its safety profile, bioavailability and patient compliance. risperidone floating tablets were formulated by wet granulati...

in the present study, floating drug delivery beads (fdds) were prepared with sodium alginate/ starch blend as a matrix, sodium hydrogen carbonate as a pore forming agent, methyl cellulose as a binder and barium chloride solution as a hardening agent. in order to prepare the beads with different porosity and morphology the ratio between pore forming agent to polymer blend and ratio of the consti...

Carvedilol (CVD) is an antihypertensive agent with a short half-life, pH-dependent solubility, and narrow absorption window. The purpose of this research was to prepare a floating-drug delivery-system of carvedilol to increase its half-life. The present study investigates the preparation of carvedilol-floating microspheres, evaluates the floating-drug delivery-system (FDDS) (by scanning electro...

The floating photovoltaic system is a new concept in energy technology to meet the needs of our time. The system integrates existing land based photovoltaic technology with a newly developed floating photovoltaic technology. Because module temperature of floating PV system is lower than that of overland PV system, the floating PV system has 11% better generation efficiency than overland PV syst...

The aim of writing this review on gastro retentive and floating drug delivery system was to compile the new literature with the principle mechanism of floatation to acquired gastric retention. Various attempts have been made to develop gastroretentive delivery systems such as high density system, swelling, floating system. In floating multiple unit and single unit system are design and their cl...

In development of floating photovoltaic generation system, finding a suitable place of installation is as important as development of economically feasible and stable structure. Especially since floating photovoltaic system has its facility floating on water surface, it is extremely important to review the effects of weather conditions such as wind, water flow and floating matters, various fact...

Using ion-exchange resins, a multiple-unit type of oral floating dosage system has been prepared to prolong gastric emptying time of dosage form. The system is composed of beads of drug-resin complex, which are loaded with bicarbonate ions and coated with a hydrophobic polymer. The system is so designed that when the beads reach the stomach, chloride ions are exchanged with bicarbonate and drug...
