<title>FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF GASTRORETENTIVE FLOATING HOLLOW MICROSPHERE (MICROBALLON) LOADED WITH ACYCLOVIR </title>
<abstract>The present study deals with the formulation of gastroretentive hollow microsphere of Acyclovir using Eudragit RS 100 &amp; Ethyl cellulose as a polymer &amp; solvent (Ethanol &amp; Di chloro methane) in different ratio of solvent evaporation method. A number of evaluation parameter was carried out. A drug – exicipient compatibility studies was performed by FTIR. Microspheres were evaluated for particle size, micromeritic properties, flow property, drug entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release , kinetic studies. The shape &amp; size of microsphere were carried by Scanning Electron Microscopy.</abstract>
