stomach and proximal small intestine7. Gastro retention helps to provide better availability of
new products with suitable therapeutic activity and substantial benefits for patients.
The need for gastro retentive dosage forms has led to extensive efforts in both
academia and industry towards the development of such drug delivery systems. These efforts
resulted in GRDFs that were designed, in large part, based on the following approaches
cases (Secondary hypertension) are caused by other conditions that affect the kidneys,
arteries, heart or endocrine system19.
The antihypertensives are a class of drugs that are used to treat hypertension (high
blood pressure). Evidence suggests that reduction of the blood pressure by 5 mmHg can
decrease the risk of stroke by 34%, of ischaemic heart disease by 21%, and reduce the
likelihood of dementia, heart failure, and mortality from cardiovascular disease20. There are
many classes of antihypertensive, which lower blood pressure by different means; among the
most important and most widely used are the thiazide diuretics, the ACE inhibitors,
the calcium channel blockers, the beta blockers, and the angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
This type of medication to use initially for hypertension has been the subject of several large
studies and resulting national guidelines. The fundamental goal of treatment should be the
prevention of the important endpoints of hypertension, such as heart attack, stroke and heart
failure. Patient age, associated clinical conditions and end-organ damage also play a part in
determining dosage and type of medication administered21.
5. Srivastav et al; prepared and evaluated floating microspheres with cimetidine for
prolongation of gastric residence time. The microspheres were prepared by solvent
evaporation method using polymers HPMC and ethyl cellulose. The shape and surface
morphology of prepared microspheres were characterized by optical and scanning electron
microscopy. In vitro drug release studies were performed and drug release kinetics was
evaluated using the linear regression method. Effects of the stirring rate during preparation,
polymer concentration, solvent composition and dissolution medium on the size of
microspheres and dug release were also observed. The prepared microspheres exhibited
prolonged drug release 8 h. The mean particle size increased and the drug release rate
decreased at higher polymer concentration. In vitro studies demonstrated diffusion controlled
drug release from the microspheres27.
6. Ninen et al; developed biodegradable, somastatin acetate containing microspheres prepared
by various aqueous (O/W) and non aqueous (O/O) solvent evaporation method using polymer
of high molecular weight poly (D,L-lactide/glycolide) or low molecular weight poly (D,Llactide). Acceptable encapsulation efficiencies were obtained with all methods. The total
volume of organic solvent and co-solvent were found to be important preparation factors of
the O/W co-solvent method28.
7. Wakode et al; developed pramipexole loaded microspheres were prepared by solvent
evaporation method using polymers like EC and HPMC. The processes of parameters were
optimized using 23 factorial design. The size, shape and surface morphology of the
microspheres were characterized by image analyzer and SEM respectively. In vitro drug

release studies were performed and drug release kinetics was evaluated using the liner
regression method. The prepared microspheres showed prolonged release of pramipexole for
a period of 24 h. The in vitro release kinetics showed that drug release from microspheres is

diffusion controlled29.
Goyal et al; prepared and evaluated floating microspheres of amoxicillin ,consisting of
calcium silicate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose as polymers.
The floating microspheres were evaluated for particle size , micromeritics properties ,
percentage drug content, invitro floating behavior, and invitro drug release. The result
suggested that calcium silicate is a useful carrier for the development of floating and
microspheres were evaluated for micromeritic properties, particle size, % yield, in vitro
buoyancy, incorporation efficiency and drug release. The size or average diameter of prepared
microspheres were recognized and characterized by scanning electron microscopic methods.
The prepared microspheres were found to be spherical and free flowing and remain buoyant
for more than 12 hrs. The drug-loaded microspheres showed encapsulation efficiencies up to
88% and also showed good micromeritic properties for their suitability as oral dosage forms.
The microspheres having lower densities exhibited good buoyancy effect and hence, these
could be retained in the gastric environment for more than12 hrs. Thus, the present
formulations would be capable of reducing the frequency of administration and the dosedependent side effects associated with the repeated administration of conventional stavudine
tablets33.
