A review on Advanced approaches and polymers used in gastroretentive drug delivery systems
Abstract
Insufficient pharmacokinetic characteristics may be associated with the widespread use of oral dosage forms in the treatment of disease. In some cases, the drug is barely soluble; in others, the formulation's rapid transit through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) makes it difficult to achieve therapeutic levels in body; in addition, some drugs must act locally due to a gastric pathology, but they remain in the stomach for only a short time. Numerous studies have focused on the development of formulations that are capable of enhancing all of these characteristics and extending the stomach residence duration. The prolonged stomach retention duration afforded by gastroretentive controlled drug delivery devices increases the therapeutic efficacy of many orally administered drugs. In the present investigation, we reviewed the advanced methods and polymers used to develop effective gastroretentive drug delivery systems. These methods include swelling and expansion, mucoadhesive, high density, low density, ion exchange, raft forming, magnetic, and floating drug delivery systems. The development of gastroretentive devices involves a broad array of polymeric materials. This work intends to expedite the development of innovative methods by offering a comprehensive understanding of unique gastroretentive approaches along with the polymeric materials utilised in the fabrication of gastroretentive drug delivery systems for oral drug delivery.
