A REVIEW ON MICROSPHERES AS DRUG CARRIERS

Abstract

Orally modified-release multiple-unit dosages have consistently shown themselves to be a more successful therapeutic
choice than other dosage types. Novel medication delivery systems have several advantages over conventional
multidose therapy. Current trends indicate that the use of micro particles in drug delivery systems can result in
regulated or delayed release formulations for oral use with minimal risk of dose dumping, variable blending to achieve
different release patterns, and predictable and short stomach residence time. In addition to their prolonged release,
microspheres garnered significant interest for their capability to specifically target drugs. It has been demonstrated
that oral modified-release multiple-unit dosage is a more efficacious treatment option in comparison to traditional or
quick-release single-unit dosage forms. Innovative drug delivery methods are superior to traditional multidose therapy
in a number of ways. According to current trends, the use of microparticles in drug delivery systems can lead to
formulations that are regulated or released gradually for ingestion with a low risk of dose dumping, blending that can
be adjusted to achieve diverse release patterns, and a stomach residence period that is predictable and brief. In addition
to their extended release, microspheres attracted a lot of attention due to their capacity to target medications precisely.
