Abstract
Formulation of floating drug delivery system (FDDS) is a topic of current interest in pharmaceutical product
development. Floating drug delivery systems are low-density systems that float over the gastric content and remain buoyant in the
stomach for a prolonged period of time. They enhance drug bioavailability, reduce drug wastage and provide controlled drug
delivery and better patient compliance. Literature on FDDS types, advantages, disadvantages, factors, evaluation and applications
along with recent research in this area are reviewed in this article.
