Abstract: The purpose of designing the floating microbeads based formulation of antidiabetic drugs was to achieve controlled release of the drugs. The floating microbeads based controlled release formulation is expected to aid in reducing the dosing frequency and to increase the gastric residence time. The gastric residence time in present study was induced using the buoyancy characteristics in the gastric fluid. Glibenclamide (glyburide) was selected as a model bioactive which is a second-generation sulfonylurea drug used in lowering blood-glucose in type-II diabetes mellitus. The floating microspheres of Glibenclamide was designed by using polymers including low and high.........
