Microsponge as Novel Drug Delivery System: A Review

During the last few decades, pharmaceutical industry gave more importance to controlled release of dosage forms like solid formulation, semi and topicalpreparation dueto efficacy patient compliance. Normal topical preparations have some disadvantages unpleasant odour, greasiness, skin irritation reported in study cases. Also many topicalpreparations fail reach systemic circulation sufficient amounts This problem is achieved by present formulation as microsponge areas research. MDS amicroscopic sphere capable absorbing secretions, therefore reducing oiliness skin. Microspongehaving particle size 10-25 microns diameter, wide range entrapmentof various ingredients a single microsponges system them at desired rates.Microsponge recent novel technique for control targetspecific drug delivery system. Microsponges are polymeric composed porous microspheres. They tiny sponge-like sphericalparticle with large surface.Drug done external stimuli (pH, temperature, rubbing). It hasseveral advantageous over other non allergenic, toxic, irritant, mutagenic. designed deliver apharmaceutical active ingredient efficiently minimum dose alsoto enhance stability, reduce side effects modify release.©2022iGlobal Research PublishingFoundation.
