ABSTRACT:-
The term MICROSPHERE is defined as a spherical particle with size varying from 50nm to 2µm, containing a core substance. Microspheres are, in strict sense, spherical empty particles.However, the terms microspheres and microencapsulationare used synonymously. In addition, some related terms are “beads” are used alternatively. Spheres and spherical particles are also usedfor a large size and rigid morphology. The microspheres are characteristically free flowing powders consisting of proteins orsynthetic polymers, which are biodegradable in nature, andideally having a particle size less than 200 micrometer. Novel Drug Delivery Systems are developed to address the challengesof drug development such as Bioavailability, Permeability & Poor solubility. These demand changes in the conventional use of Excipients, the growth of the Biotechnology industry,including Stem cell therapy,Vaccines & Genetic products, also necessitates different drug delivery requirements, there by demonstrating the acceptance of these excipients by the US food & drug administration or other agencies in the major markets.For materials in which Toxicity is a possible concern, formulators can give information about the excipients regulatory acceptance& allowable amount by consulting with excipients manufactures& toxicology experts.
Cipla known for its innovative pharmaceutical products backed by latest in technology and creative marketing practices, is enjoying a commanding position among the top pharma companies in the country.
