USPTO Abstract

Many drug therapies could be greatly improved by dosage forms that reside in the stomach for prolonged time and release the drug slowly. In this specification, therefore, a gastroretentive structured dosage form is disclosed. The dosage form comprises a solid core having at least a fluid-absorptive first excipient. The dosage form further comprises a semi-permeable surface layer substantially encapsulating said solid core. The surface layer comprises at least a mechanically strengthening second excipient. Upon ingestion, the surface layer-supported solid core expands with physiological fluid absorption and may remain in the stomach for prolonged time.
