Abstract
The present investigation involves developing gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GFDDS) of alfuzosin HCl using HPMCK100M a is the matrixing agent and floating enhancer. Sodium bicarbonate in the acidic environment reacts with the acid and produces carbon dioxide. The gastro retentive tablets can be formulated to increase the gastric residence time and thereby increase the oral bioavailability. From the drug release study, it was concluded that the AFTB4 formula of HPMC K 100 M matrix tablets gives the controlled release up to 12 hours by showing increased release with floating lag time 24 seconds. Non – Fickian diffusion was the drug release mechanism from the matrix tablets formulated employing HPMC K 100 M. The matrix tablets (AFTB4) formulated employing 40 % HPMC K 100 M are best suited to be used for gastro retentive dosage form of alfuzosin HCl. Finally, it can be concluded that good candidates for the preparation of gastro retentive dosage forms due its gastric stability, gastric absorption and better bioavailability.
