Vipul A. Sansare

Abstract


Microsponges are polymer based drug delivery system consisting of porous microspheres having a size range from 5 to 300 micron. The present review introduces microsponge technology along with its preparation, characterization and applications. Microsponges are preferred to develop drug and cosmetics products because of its safety and efficacy.


Keywords
