Due to its potential to stay in the gastric region for a longer period of time, the gastro-retentive is one of the most promising oral drug delivery systems. This increases the solubility of the drug, which improves bioavailability and reduces drug waste. To achieve the gastro-retentive property, numerous methods have been proposed. Microballoons are the most common form among them. Microballoons (hollow microspheres) have the ability to be a viable option for gastric retention. The microballoons drug delivery system is based on a non-effervescent system that comprises hollow spherical particles with no center and a size of less than 200 micrometres. The microballoons drug delivery system has been shown to be more effective in regulating the rate of release of drugs with site-specific absorption. The floating Microballoons demonstrated gastro-retentive mediated release delivery with effective methods for increasing bioavailability, and they could be a promising solution for gastric retention. Optimized hollow microspheres could play a key role in novel drug delivery, especially in secure, targeted, and efficient in vivo delivery. They may be a promising approach for gastric retention, which would minimize variability in plasma drug concentrations. The review presents an insight in to recent advance methods of formulation, evaluation, polymers used in microballoons, applications of microballoons as gastroretentive drug delivery system which provide controlled release properties.

The convenience of administration and improved patient compliance are important in the design of oral drug delivery system which remains the preferred route of drug delivery inspite of various disadvantages. Fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. The popularity and usefulness of the formulation resulted in development of several FDT technologies. These techniques render the disintegration of tablet rapidly and dissolve in mouth in five seconds without chewing and the need of water which is advantageous mainly for pediatrics, geriatrics and patients having difficulty in swallowing tablets and capsules. Formulation of a convenient dosage form for administration, by considering swallowing difficulty and poor patient compliance, leads to development of orally disintegrating tablets. Conventional preparation methods are spray drying, freeze drying, direct compression, Molding, and sublimation while new technologies have been developed for the production of orodispersible tablets. Keywords: Fast Dissolving Tablet, drug delivery system, fast disintegrating, fast melting.

In recent years, gastroretentive drug delivery system (GRDDS) has gained researcher’s interest in the field of oral drug delivery. Various GRDDS approaches can be utilized to retain the dosage forms in the stomach and to release the drug slowly for an extended period of time. GRDDS can be used to prolong the residence time of delivery system in the stomach. This results in targeting of drug release at a specific site for the systemic or local effects. GRDDS can be used to overcome challenges associated with conventional oral dosage forms and to release the drug at a specific absorption site to improve bioavailability of particular drug substance. The challenges include fast gastric emptying of the dosage form which results in the poor bioavailability of the drug. Prolongation of the retention of drugs in stomach those having low solubility at high intestinal pH improves the solubility of drugs. GRDDS has proved to be effective in systemic actions as well as in local actions to treat gastric or duodenal ulcers. Local activity in the upper part of the small intestine can be obtained by improving the residence time of delivery system in the stomach. The system is useful for drugs which are unstable in the intestine or having a low solubility/permeability in the small intestine. Various GRDDS approaches include high density (sinking) systems, low-density (floating systems), mucoadhesive, expandable, unfoldable, superporous hydrogel systems, and magnetic systems.
