Following all data and knowledge floating tablets for gastric ulcers was prepared using annona squamosa and annona reticulatawith sodium bicarbonate as floating agent. Development of floating herbal tablets for reducing gastric ulcers with no side effects and improve patient compliance. Floating tablet was prepared by direct compression technique. Extracts of twoplant were dissolved in Isopropyl alcohol and this solution was mixed with other polymer,and Sodium bicarbonate by gentle mixing in mortar pastel in last Magnesium stearate and talk were added and mixed together. These blends was subjected to direct compression process for formulation of tablet. In conclusion, our data confirm that the selected formulation of poly herbal floating tablets has acceptable physicochemical features and may be considered as herbal medication for reducing gastric ulcers.
