Formulation & Development of Gastro-retentive Anti-diabetic Tablet Alpesh Arvadiya

Gastro-retentive Tablets are primarily controlled release drug delivery systems, which gets retained in the stomach for longer period of time, thus helping in absorption of drug for the intended duration of time. This in turn improves bioavailability, reduces drug wastage, improves solubility of drugs that are less soluble at high pH environment. It also helps in achieving local delivery of drug to the stomach and proximal small intestine.
