Abstract: The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of controlled release floating tablets of Pregabalin to enhance its gastric retention time and provide sustained drug release, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. Pregabalin, a widely used antiepileptic and neuropathic pain-relieving agent, has a short half-life and requires frequent dosing. To address these limitations, floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) were developed using hydrophilic polymers such as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC K4M/K15M), Carbopol 934P, and Xanthan gum, in combination with gas-generating agents like sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The tablets were prepared by direct compression and evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression parameters including hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content, floating lag time, total floating time, swelling index, and in vitro drug release. Dissolution studies were conducted in 0.1 N HCl (pH 1.2) to simulate gastric conditions, and the drug release data were analyzed using various kinetic models to determine the release mechanism. Among the formulations, the optimized batch demonstrated excellent floating behavior with a floating lag time of less than 1 minute and total floating time exceeding 12 hours. It also showed a controlled release of Pregabalin over 12 hours, fitting best to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, indicating a diffusion-controlled mechanism. Stability studies conducted as per ICH guidelines confirmed the formulation’s physical and chemical stability over time. The results suggest that the developed floating tablets of Pregabalin offer a promising controlled release system capable of improving bioavailability and reducing dosing frequency.
