The concept of targeted drug delivery is designed for attempting to concentrate the drug in the tissues of interest while reducing the relative concentration of the medication in the remaining tissues. As a result, drug is localized on the targeted site. Hence, surrounding tissues are not affected by the drug. So, carrier technology offers an intelligent approach for drug delivery by coupling the drug to a carrier particle such as microspheres, nanoparticles, liposomes, niosomes etc which modulates the release and absorption characteristics of the drug. Microsphere or Microparticles are defined as a free-flowing spherical particle consisting for polymer matrix and drug they consist of protein or synthetic polymer which are biodegradable in nature having a particle size less than 200µm. Microsphere improves bioavailability, reduce the side effects, improves stability, decrease dose frequency and the targets the drug to specific site at predetermined rate. In future by combining various other strategies, microspheres will find the central place in novel drug delivery, particularly in diseased cell sorting, diagnostics, gene & genetic materials, safe, targeted and effective in vivo delivery and supplements as miniature versions of diseased organ and tissues in the body.
