Floating tablets are a new approach to extending the time a drug is in the stomach to improve therapy outcomes. Floating tablets were formulated with the drug, the polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch, fillers, and lubricants. The tablets were prepared using the direction compression method. The tablets' physical quality control tests were found to be within acceptable limits. The tablets extended drug release up to 12 h and were uniform in their drug contents. The swelling index of the tablets ranged from 60 ± 0.11 to 66 ± 0.14%, and the tablets were less dense than water. The floating lag time (10 ± 0.23 to 16 ± 0.09 s) and total floating time (>12 h) showed good floating behaviors. The kinetic modeling showed that the drug was released from the tablets by pseudo-diffusion, swelling, erosion, or anomalous non-Fickian diffusion. F6 (starch and CMC) showed higher n values (0.994 ± 0.04), exhibiting pseudo-zero-order drug release kinetics compared to those of other tablets. The dissolution data of the test and reference tables were not similar (P > 0.05). In terms of antimicrobial activity, the zones of inhibition of the test F6 tablet powders (5.3 ± 0.08 mm) and the reference tablet powders (5.9 ± 0.13 mm) were found to be significantly similar (P > 0.05). The study concluded that these floating tablets can improve the gastric residence time and therapeutic outcomes.
