## Abstract Pulmonary tuberculosis is associated with a yearโlong chemotherapy, poor alveolar drug levels, drugโrelated systemic toxicity, and patient noncompliance. In this study, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is proposed as a drug carrier for antitubercular drugs. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
Utilizing gastro-retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) to increase absorption of weakly basic drugs by extending their transit time is a promising approach. Swellable systems were evaluated for this purpose. Such systems demonstrate dual mechanism of release-diffusion and erosion. GRDDS requires m
