Microsponges ~ A Malleable Drug Delivery System
Introduction: Microsponges are at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of novel drug delivery technology. Microsponges are defined as polymeric delivery systems made up of porous microspheres. They are small sponge-like globular particles with a huge porous surface. Microsponges technology has lot of advantageous & innovative characteristics, which make it a flexible drug delivery vehicle. Microsponges can be restrained in a wide range of substances, and can then be incorporated into a formulated product such as a cream, gel, powder or liquid. The outer surface is usually porous, permitting a uniform flow of medicaments out of the sphere for a pronged period. Microsponges are used largely for topical purpose and nowadays have been used for oral administration. Microsponges are aimed to deliver a pharmaceutically active ingredient capable at the minimum dose and also to increase stability, lower the side effects and improve drug release favorably.
