Pregabalin (PRG), an analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid, reduces the release of many neurotransmitters, including glutamate, and noradrenaline. It is used for the treatment of epilepsy; simple and complex partial convulsion. The present research work aims to ensure a high drug absorption by retarding the advancement of PRG formulation through the gastrointestinal tract. The work aims to design a controlled release PRG formulation which is administered as liquid and further gels in the stomach and floats in gastric juice. Materials and Methods: In situ gelling formulations were prepared using sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, sodium Bicarbonate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) E-50M, and sodium bicarbonate. The prepared formulations were evaluated for solution viscosity, drug content, in vitro gelling studies, gel strength, and in vitro drug release. Results: The formulation containing 3% w/v sodium alginate and 0.6% w/v HPMC E-50 were considered optimum since it showed minimum floating lag time (18 s), optimum viscosity (287.3 cps). The optimized formulation follows first ordering Higuchi kinetic model with regression value 0.4767 representing diffusion mechanism of drug release. Conclusion: Floating in situ gelling system of PRG can be formulated using sodium alginate as a gelling polymer and calcium carbonate as a complexing agent to control the drug release for about 8 h for the treatment of epilepsy.
