Abstract
Gastric irritation is very common problem with various stomach related disorders. The present research was undertaken to formulate floating calcium alginate beads of glycyrrhizin for targeting the gastric mucosa and prolonging their gastric residence time. The beads were prepared by suspending glycyrrhizin in calcium alginate solution. The bead was prepared using calcium alginate and glycyrrhizin (1:1) and was evaluated. The mean diameter, drug loading and entrapment efficiency was evaluated. Thus, the present investigation aimed in formulating stomach specific drug delivery useful in the treatment of gastric problems.
