MICROSPHERES: A RECENT UPDATE Authors: Dhumal VA* And Ahuja D
ABSTRACT
Therapeutic alternative to conventional or immediate release single-unit dosage forms. With
regards to the final dosage form, the multiparticulates are usually formulated into microspheres
and filling them into hard gelatin capsules. Microspheres received much attention not only for
prolonged release, but also for targeting of drugs. In future microspheres will find the central place
in novel drug delivery, particularly in diseased cell sorting, diagnostics, genetic materials,
targeted and effective drug delivery. Microspheres are characteristically free flowing powders
consisting of proteins or synthetic polymers having a particle size ranging from 1-1000 ?m. The
range of Techniques for the preparation of microspheres offers a Variety of opportunities to control
aspects of drug administration and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of a given drug. There are
various approaches in delivering a therapeutic substance to the target site in a sustained controlled
release fashion. Microspheres has a drug located centrally within the particle, where it is encased
within a unique polymeric membrane.
