ABSTRACT:
One of the innovative strategies used in the pharmaceutical business to improve therapeutic advantages, such as patient compliance, formulation flexibility, and ease of dosage administration, is GRDDS. This Oral drug delivery systems and controlled release drug delivery systems, such as GRDDS, which serve as drug reservoirs and release drugs in a regulated manner over a predetermined amount of time, are the foundation of this research. Enhancing the medicine's bioavailability is the primary goal of the gastroretentive drug delivery method. The basic anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, the requirements for a gastroretention drug, the necessity of gastro retention, the factors influencing gastroretentive time, the benefits and drawbacks of GRDDS, and recent developments in gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are all covered in this study.
