ABSTRACT

By attaching the drug to a carrier particle like microspheres, nanoparticles, liposomes, niosomes, etc. that regulates the drug's release and absorption characteristics, carrier technology offers an intelligent method for drug delivery.The innovative medication delivery technique relies heavily on mucoadhesive microspheres. By developing regulated drug delivery systems, which increase a medicine's therapeutic efficacy, some drug delivery issues are resolved. Mucoadhesive microspheres have been developed for oral, buccal, nasal, ocular, rectal and vaginal for either systemic or local effects. It is an ideal targeting system with high safety profile. This review article gives the information about mucoadhesion. It also contains a number of available methods of preparation of mucoadhesive microspheres.
