Abstract

Ciprofloxacin is associated with reduced bioavailability due to dissolution and absorption from upper part of GIT. Controlled release technology covers frequency of administration, but reduced bioavailability demands increased gastric residence time. So, floating drug delivery systems represent an ideal drug delivery mode to increase gastric residence time leading to improved bioavailability. This study aimed to formulate polymeric floating tablets of ciprofloxacin for oral drug delivery. Direct compression method was employed for the preparation of tablets using different polymers like HPMC, alginate and chitosan. Physicochemical evaluation tests were performed on all the prepared tablets. 0.1 N HCl solution was used for floating, swelling and in-vitro release studies. The drug, polymers and excipients had no incompatibilities as confirmed by FTIR results. Total floating  time of all the formulated tablets was higher than 12 h with maximum swelling index exhibited by F6. In-vitro studies depicted that combination of polymers can sustain the release of drug in better way and followed anomalous non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. Similarly, the optimized ciprofloxacin floating tablets were investigated for effect of pH, agitational intensity and osmotic pressure. The results confirmed that ciprofloxacin loaded floating drug delivery system produced promising results to enhance bioavailability.
