Microsponge : An Overview

Abstract

Microsponges are a revolutionary way of medication administration that has a number of advantages. The Microsponges drug delivery system is used to increase the performance of medications that are delivered orally, parenterally, or topically in a variety of conditions. Microsponge is a new technology for controlling medication release and delivering drugs to precise targets. Microsponge technology has been used in topical medicinal solutions to allow for regulated active drug release into the skin, lowering systemic exposure and reducing local cutaneous reactions to active pharmaceuticals. This review discusses the preparation procedures, evaluation methodologies, drug release mechanism, and physical characterization of Microsponges in relation to a Microsponges delivery system. Microsponges are used to deliver a pharmaceutical active component at a low dose while simultaneously improving stability, reducing adverse effects, and modifying drug release.
