This review article focuses on the niosomal drug delivery system by preparing the niosomes by using different types of preparation methods such as ether injection method, thin film hydration method, multiple membrane extrusion, reverse phase evaporation method, sonication method, microfludization method, lipid injection method, transmembrane pH gradient method. We have also studied in this review article about the components of niosomes and the types of components such as non-ionic surfactants, cholesterol and active pharmaceutical ingredients. We had also studied about the various types of niosomes such as aspasomes, deformable niosomes, proniosomes, etc.
