ABSTRACT:
This comprehensive review offers an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted role of microspheres within the realm of drug delivery systems. Delving into various aspects including fabrication methods, evaluation techniques, and recent advancements, the review provides a thorough understanding of how microspheres contribute to the field. One key highlight is the versatility exhibited by microspheres in ensuring prolonged drug release across different administration routes such as oral, nasal, and buccal. By compiling information on the diverse types of microspheres, the polymers employed in their fabrication, and the methodologies utilized for their preparation, the review offers valuable insights into the factors influencing their efficiency. Furthermore, it discusses parameters for evaluating microsphere performance, shedding light on critical considerations in their development and application. Notably, the review emphasizes the significant impact of microspheres on enhancing solubility, absorption rates, and overall bioavailability of drugs. This attribute proves particularly beneficial in the management of chronic disorders, where sustained release and improved patient compliance are paramount. Overall, this review underscores the pivotal role played by microspheres in advancing drug delivery technology and their potential to revolutionize treatment strategies across diverse medical domains.
