consisting  of  porous  microspheres  that  can  entrap  and  release  them  into  the  skin  over  a  long  period  of  time.  This  delivery 
system provides extended release with reduced irritation, better tolerance, improved thermal, physical and chemical stability . 
The  main  goal  of  any  drug  delivery  system  is  to  achieve  desired  concentration  of  the  drug  in  blood  or  tissue,  which  is 
therapeutically  effective  and  non-toxic  for  a  prolonged  period  In  the  present  study  various  methods  for  preparation  of 
microsponges drug delivery system are studied. Various advantages are also given which shows the importance of this method 
for the delivery of drugs over the other drug delivery system.</Abstract><Email>ankaj5645@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Review</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>3</issue><year>2014</year><keyword>Microsponges,porous,prolong period,methods of preparation</keyword><AUTHORS>Ankaj Kaundal,Rohit Bhatia,Amit Sharma,Pankaj Sukrial</AUTHORS><afflication>Faculty, Laureate Institute of Pharmacy, Kathog, Kangra (H.P) -177101,Faculty, Laureate Institute of Pharmacy, Kathog, Kangra (H.P) -177101,Faculty, Laureate Institute of Pharmacy, Kathog, Kangra (H.P) -177101,Student, Laureate Institute of Pharmacy, Kathog, Kangra (H.P) -177101</afflication></Article></Articles>
