Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a gastroretentive drug delivery system based on a Superporous hydrogel using Quetiapine Fumarate and characterized for Mechanical strength, Porosity and Dissolution.
Method: Quetiapine Fumarate (QTP-F) based Superporous Hydrogels were prepared by using 3 2 factorial design to study the effect of independent variables on dependent variables. The selected independent variables considered were the concentration of HPMC K4M (g) (X1); HPMC K100M (g) (X2); and Stirring time (seconds) (X3). Mechanical strength, Porosity, and the Dissolution were selected as the dependent variables.
