Abstract

A medication delivery technology called a microsponge has the adaptability to load a variety of active chemicals because of its huge surface area. It lowers systemic exposure and negative effects and enables the regulated release of active substances. Microsponges are polymeric sponges with flexible, porous structures made of interconnected gaps. With fewer negative effects, microsponge administration systems offer increased product stability, safety, formulation flexibility, effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal. Due to minimal bacterial contamination and the lack of preservatives in the recipe, it is regarded as safe. As a result, it is utilised in several sterile formulations, including ophthalmic and parenteral. This study gives a general overview of the microsponge technology, including its technique, mechanism, programmed release, characterisation, and latest information on formulations that have been commercially successful, their uses, and a list of patents. It also evaluates and applies microsponges in diverse contexts. Although lately utilised for oral applications as well, microsponge is frequently employed for topical applications.
