Floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was most convenient and widely used drug delivery for systemic intervention, oral administration. The main purpose of developing the FDDS is to enhance therapeutic benefits such as ease of dosing administration, patient compliance, and formulation versatility. In pharmaceuticals industries we are approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, and classification and formulation of FDDS aspects are covered in detail. This review summarizes the tablet, Floating Drug Delivery System, Type, Mechanism, and also the Advantages & Disadvantages. This sort of medication delivery method is beneficial because it has enough buoyancy to float above gastric contents and stay buoyant in the stomach for a long time.
