Abstract
Microencapsulation is a process of applying thin coatings reproducibly to small particles of solid, droplets of liquids, or dispersion; thus forming microcapsule. It is a technique commonly employed in the formulation of sustained action dosage form. This may permit one controlled release dose to substitute for several doses of non-encapsulated drug and also may decrease toxic side effects for some drugs by preventing high initial concentrations in the blood.
