The purpose of writing this review on floating microspheres was to compile the recent literature with special focus on various gastro retentive approaches that have recently become leading methodologies in the field of orally controlled drug delivery to overcome physiological adversities such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Floating microspheres enhances drug bioavailability; reduce drug excretion and controlled drug delivery and better patient compliance.
