Abstract

A microsponge delivery system is a novel and distinctive method of administering medications organizationally. The use of microsponge medication delivery enables efficient and prompt regulation of drug administration.

Microsponge delivery system consists of porous microspheres that vary in sphere size range (5 to 300 µm). These microspheres have a significant porous frame and a small spherical form. Microneedle drug delivery systems are typically used for drug administration via the skin, although they lately show potential for drug transfer through the mouth, eyes, and injection routes. Microsponge delivery systems can readily alter the pharmacological release pattern and enhance the stability of the formulation while simultaneously reducing the adverse effects of the medicine.

The primary objective of microsponge medication delivery is to achieve the greatest peak plasma concentration in the bloodstream. The most notable characteristic of Microsponge delivery systems is their inherent ability to self-sterilize.

In conclusion, the microsponge delivery system has been extensively studied and shown to have antiallergic, antimutagenic, and nonirritating properties. This study covers the formulation, criteria for medication inclusion in microsponge delivery systems, formulation techniques, evaluation parameters, and the function of microsponge delivery systems in treating different illnesses. This study will be valuable for examining the usage of microsponge delivery systems in various diseases.
