Nanosponges are microscopic sponges that are roughly the size of viruses and may contain a wide range of medications. These microscopic sponges may move throughout the body until they come into contact with the precise target location, adhere to the surface and start to release the medication in a regulated and predictable way. For a given dosage, the medicine will work better since it can be delivered at the precise target place rather than circulating throughout the body. Their aqueous solubility is another crucial feature of these sponges, which enables the efficient application of these systems for medications with low solubility. We shall talk about the history of nanosponges in this review,Benefits and drawbacks, different varieties and techniques for making them, Current work carried out on Nanosponges and applications.
