Abstract

Topically applied Drug Delivery is ineffective for delivering materials whose final destination is the dermis directly. Because of enhanced percutaneous absorption of medicines into the skin, topical agents commonly cause redness, itchiness, and burning sensations. Some traditional dosages, such as gels and ointments, are cosmetically unappealing, greasy and sticky, and so on. This frequently results in patient noncompliance. Microsponge technology has distinct advantages over conventional drug administration in terms of reducing these negative effects. Another method is the microsponge-based drug delivery system, which allows for controlled medicine release and greater drug deposition on the skin while minimizing transdermal penetration. A topical agent the active ingredient-loaded microsponge is made up of microporous beads with a quintessential diameter of 10-25 m. Cosmetic, over-the-counter skincare products, sun protection, and prescriptions pharmaceuticals all use MDS technology.
