Abstract Background The present research was aimed to develop a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) pellet to increase the dissolution rate and in vivo hypoglycemic effect of Psyllium gliclazide.Gliclazide belongs to BCS class 2 and it exhibits dissolution rate-limited absorption.Thus, dissolution enhancement of gliclazide from its
