A REVIEW ON MICROSPHERES
Farooqui Mohd Shafeuddin*
Abstract
Microspheres can be used to deliver medications in a rate-controlled
and sometimes targeted manner. Medication is released from a
microsphere by drug leaching from the polymer or by degradation of
the polymer matrix.[1] The current review provides an in-depth
discussion of therapeutic aspects of microsphere drug delivery
including the types of polymers used, methods of preparation, factors
affecting the release, types of microspheres and pharmaceutical
applications of Microspheres.
Keywords: Microspheres, Targeted Drug Delivery, Polymers, Controlled Release.
