AIM OF PRESENT INVESTIGATION
Now a day most of the pharmaceutical scientists are involved in developing an ideal drug delivery system with an objective of not only curing the disease but also to achieve patient compliance. Approximately 50 % of the drug delivery system available in market is oral drug delivery system. Conventional oral dosage forms provide a specific drug concentration in systemic circulation without offering any control over drug delivery. Over the past three decades, the pursuit and exploration of devices designed to be retained in the upper part of gastrointestinal tract has advanced consistently in terms of technology and diversity, encompassing a variety of systems and devices such as floating systems.
