Recent scientific and patent literature came to the conclusion that there was a growing interest in innovative dosage forms that could be kept in the stomach for an extended period of time with some predictability. In order to address physiological variations such as short stomach residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times employing gastro retentive drug delivery systems, numerous technological initiatives have been made in the research and development of rate regulated oral drug delivery systems. The therapeutic efficiency of many orally delivered medications is increased by the extended stomach retention period provided by gastroretentive controlled drug delivery devices. In the current inquiry, we looked at the cutting-edge techniques and polymers utilised to create efficient gastroretentive drug delivery systems. This paper discusses several floating dosage form strategies as well as recent and current innovations in floating drug delivery systems for gastro retention that are particular to the stomach.
