Abstract

Drug delivery advancements are playing a major role in the pharmaceutical industry for delivering new chemical entities that are not able to reach the commercial market owing to challenges in their absorption, metabolism or any other issue. Gastroretentive drug delivery systems are one such approach that is being developed for drugs with narrow therapeutic index and have absorption window in stomach. Hydrogels were developed basically as a means to regulate drug release when compared to conventional dosage forms [1].
