Background:: The general purpose of this review was to briefly describe the gastro-retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS) and primary focuses on mechanisms of flotation for gastric retention. The principle mechanism of floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) is mainly based on hydro-dynamically controlled low-density system which gets swollen when come in contact with gastric environment and remain buoyant for extended period of time with improved bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. The main perspective of this review was to focus on microbubble drug delivery due to its wide range of application. Microbubble is a new, economically viable and non-invasive technique which is alternative to conventional techniques. The size of microbubble ranges from 1-100 micrometers which contain oxygen or air and remain suspended for prolonged drug release. Due to its great potential microbubble is used in therapeutic delivery of drug molecule or genetic material at their specific targeted site in various diseases. The recent research also suggests that ultrasound mediated microbubble is more frequently used in biomedical field for imaging of site-specific molecule targeting for detection of disease and site-specific drug delivery. Conclusion:: Gastro-retentive floating drug delivery system was considered as most favorable approach for site-specific drug delivery. But nowadays, microbubble is gaining more popularity for its potential application in biomedical field. In recent years, there is much progress in microbubble for site specific delivery of drug or genetic material. Recent research also suggests that the ultrasound mediated microbubble have shown positive impact in the diagnosis and clinical management of various diseases such as Liver Cirrhosis, brain tumor, ocular and urinary tract infection.

Oral controlled release and site specific drug delivery system has been of great interest in pharmaceutical field to achieve improved therapeutic advantage. Concept of novel drug delivery system arose to overcome certain aspect related to physicochemical properties of drug molecule and the related formulations. Gastro retentive drug delivery system is one of such novel approaches to prolong gastric residence time, thereby targeting site specific drug release in the stomach for local or systemic effects. This approach is useful particularly for the drugs which have narrow absorption window in the upper part of gastro intestinal tract. In this review we have been discussed various approaches of gastro retentive drug delivery system, such as floating and non-floating systems.

Writing the review on gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) was to start up the current literature with a special consequence on several gastro retentive approaches that have become main mode in the field of site-specific orally conduct sustained/controlled release drug delivery. Multi-furious ways have been made in research and development to rate-controlled oral drug delivery systems to solve physiological difficulties, like short gastric residence times (GRT) and unpredictable gastric emptying times (GET). GRDDS is a tool to prolong the GRT, thereby targeting site-specific drug release in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for local or systemic effect. Oral dosage forms as low bioavailability issues because of their swift gastric transition from the stomach, particularly in the case of drugs that are less soluble at an alkaline pH of the intestine. The drugs that produce their local action in the stomach get quickly emptied and don’t get enough residence time in the stomach. Many efforts have been made to extend the retention time of a drug delivery system to reduce the frequency of dose administration. GRDDS not only prolong dosing intervals but also increase patient compliance beyond the level of existing controlled release dosage forms. This article gives an overview of the advantages, disadvantages, and characterization of gastro retentive drug delivery systems. This also includes commercially available gastro retentive products and patents.

The oral route is the best and most popular route for the administration of drugs in the systemic circulation. There are number of drugs which are given through the oral route. Gastro-retentive drug delivery system is very important system for the drug delivery system. The gastro-retentive drugs prolonged the drug time in the git and also improve their their bioavailability. These are widely used for site specific for the treatment of git disorders and diseases. There are number of approaches for gastro retentive drug delivery system such as floating system, mucoadhesive system, swelling system, high density system etc. In this review we discussed about approaches and various perspectives of gastro retentive drug delivery system.
