Microsponges: A Futuristic Approach for Oral Drug Delivery and Current Status

Abstract

Microsponges are at the forefront of the field of new drug delivery technology, which is rapidlyevolving. Microsponge drug delivery technology holds a lot of potential in terms of reaching the aimof controlled and site-specific drug delivery, thus it’s gotten a great deal of interest from scientists.Microsponges are porous microsphere and biologically inert. Particle size of microsponges was 10-25μm. The Quasi emulsion solvent diffusion method was used to construct microsponges. It is aunique technique for controlled release formulation.This page gives an overview of the Microspongesdelivery system, including the principles and methods of preparation. Particle size and distribution,surface morphology, porosity, and density are all considered as appropriate analytical methods forcharacterization of Microsponges. The advantages, drawbacks, and possible responses of microspongedrug delivery are also examined. The advantages, drawbacks, and alternative solutions of microspongedrug delivery are also explored. These microsponges are included in sunscreens, balms, ointments, andover-the-counter skin care products that are designed for external use. Microsponge drug delivery canprovide increased efficacy for topically active agents with enhanced safety, extended product stabilityand improved aesthetic properties in an efficient and novel manner. They are mostly used for topicaluse and have recently been used for oral administration.
