Abstract
Micro particles are one of the recent controlled release dosage form, compressed in the form of tablets or filled in capsules for the delivery of drugs. In this review different methods of preparations and their effects on physical properties i.e. size, shape and porosity which can be controlled by ingredients used or process variables and characterization will be discussed. Future dimensions of these dosage forms are numerous when it comes to its application in drug delivery and to overcome issues associated with new drug molecule in drug discovery process.
