FLOATING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM - CHRONOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of writing this review on the floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. FDDS is one of the approaches in chronotherapeutic drug delivery. In the past reviews of FDDS the physiological and formulation variables affecting gastric retention, approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, their classification and formulation aspects have been covered. This review summarizes the special focus on chronotherapeutics, diseases affected by biological rhythm, its importance, advantages, various approaches in Chronotherapeutic drug delivery and applications of FDDS. These systems are useful for several problems encountered during the development of a pharmaceutical dosage forms.
