Bioactive inorganic-materials/alginate composite microspheres with controllable drug-delivery ability

2 Microspheres for Drug Delivery

Bioadhesive Microspheres for Tuberculosis Drug Delivery

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. For the treatment of tuberculosis, conventional drug delivery system fails to achieve efficient drug delivery system fails to achieve efficient drug delivery at the target site. Today, bioadhesive microspheres became a topic of great interest as a novel carrier for drug delivery. Bioadhesive microspheres offers longer ret...

Magnetic Microspheres: A Novel Drug Delivery System

Magnetic microspheres are supramolecular particles that are small enough to circulate through capillaries without producing embolic occlusion (<4μm)but are sufficiently susceptible (ferromagnetic) to be captured in micro-vessels and dragged into the adjacent tissues by magnetic field of 0.5-0.8 tesla [1,2]. Magnetic microspheres are very much important which localizes the drug to the disease si...

Chitosan Microspheres in Novel Drug Delivery Systems

The main aim in the drug therapy of any disease is to attain the desired therapeutic concentration of the drug in plasma or at the site of action and maintain it for the entire duration of treatment. A drug on being used in conventional dosage forms leads to unavoidable fluctuations in the drug concentration leading to under medication or overmedication and increased frequency of dose administr...
