Star-shaped gastric retention dosage form developed by Lyndra (b). The stellate dosage form is administered in a capsule. Upon dissolution, the capsule releases a large star that remains in the stomach for approximately 7 days to provide a constant release of the drug (a). After the drug is released, the matrix breaks down into smaller components that pass safely through the digestive tract [69].
