Abstract

Polymeric microsponges are a way to deliver drugs to the body. These microsponges are porous and interlinked in a special way. They come in sizes from very small to a bit bigger like 5 to 300 μm. Entrapped API within the porous polymeric network and release in a controlled manner.

Polymeric microsponges enhance the physicochemical and chemical stability of labile drugs by protecting them from photodegradation , oxidation and reduction. They also reduce the effects that some medicines can have. The significance is that polymeric microsponges can deliver the medicine right where it is needed especially when we use them in creams or for oral administration. This review examines their historical development, fabrication techniques, characterization methods, drug loading and release mechanisms, diverse applications, advantages, limitations, regulatory considerations, and emerging trends, drawing on recent advancements to highlight their potential in pharmaceutical sciences.[4][5]
