An Improved Method for Gastro-Retentive Drug Delivery Using Micro balloons

Abstract

The administration of drugs in the form of micro balloons orally is the most common and preferred method. Gastric retention by use of micro balloons is proposed as a viable option. Non-effervescent systems comprising empty spherical particles without a center, ideally measuring fewer than 200 micrometers in diameter, are the basis for the micro balloon drug delivery method. Floating medicine delivery using micro balloons has recently emerged as a promising new topic in the pharmaceutical industry. Microballoons, or hollow microspheres, have a number of other names. Microballoons are a smooth, breathable material that floatswell in stomach juice. The medicine is retained in the stomach thanks to the microballoons. It's able to discharge its contents slowly and steadily. Microballoons are unfilled spherical vehicles. That can maintain its buoyancy in the stomach for an extended amount of time without irritating the intestines. GRDDS, benefits, drawbacks, methods of production of microballoons, applications, and assessment procedures are all discussed in depth as they relate to the physical characteristics of microballoons.
