This document presents an overview of gastroretentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS). It discusses how GRDDS can increase the gastric residence time and help deliver drugs that need to be released in the stomach or upper intestine. The document outlines different technologies for GRDDS, including floating drug delivery systems, swelling systems, bioadhesive systems, and high density approaches. It also notes some drugs that are suitable candidates for GRDDS and reviews advantages like improved bioavailability as well as limitations like unsuitability for drugs that are unstable in the stomach.
