A Comprehensive Review on Microsponges Drug Delivery Systems

Abstract

The special qualities of microsponges are making them a promising drug delivery system. These cross-linked, highly porous polymer particles have the capacity to encapsulate and release medications in a regulated fashion. Microsponges can effectively entrap both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, improving their stability and preventing drug degradation, thanks to their large internal surface area and adjustable pore sizes. Innovative drug delivery devices known as microsponges have drawn a lot of interest from the pharmaceutical industry. The controlled and sustained release of medications is made possible by these porous, polymeric structures, which also minimise side effects and increase patient compliance. These systems also provide regulated release kinetics, which enhance bioavailability and minimise adverse effects. Because microsponges can be used topically or orally, they can be used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes. The potential of microsponges as adaptable drug delivery devices that could completely change the pharmaceutical formulation industry.
