The objective of the current study was to create and assess a hydrodynamically balanced system (HBS) for miglitol in order to achieve sustained drug release and extended stomach retention. Five formulations (HBSF1 to HBSF5) were prepared using Modified Methylcellulose Hydrogel (MMCH) and Xanthan Gum (XG) as hydrophilic polymers, ensuring controlled drug release and enhanced buoyancy. The micromeritic properties of the formulations were evaluated, demonstrating excellent flowability, compressibility, and uniform weight distribution, with Carr’s Index (≤3.48%), Hausner Ratio (~1.02–1.03), and an Angle of Repose below 25°, ensuring efficient capsule filling and manufacturing reproducibility.
