A Review on Microencapsulation as Method of Drug Delivery

Abstract

Microencapsulation can be described as heavy, fluid or gaseous substance packaging engineering with thin polymeric coatings, creating small particles called microcapsules. Microencapsulation is very helpful to increase the solubility of drugs. For the drugs of BCS Class-II we use this technique which enables us to get more solubility and increase dissolution profile. This is a novel method of drug delivery. In future aspect we can use this technique in the foodindustry, beverages. A microencapsulation approach for the preparation of an intrauterine contraceptionsystem was alsosuggested. This technique is helpful to overcome poor solubility, low Bioavaibility and less stability.This method also gives more control over the drawback of conventional dosages form.
