ABSTRACT
This review summarises the oral route of drug delivery of steroids. Oral drug delivery is widespread owing to its non-invasive nature which complements high patient compliance. This article summarises the problems associated with oral delivery of steroids including bioavailability. In this review, a brief description of the novel types of drug delivery systems of steroids such as microspheres, nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, multimatrix tablets, pellet technology, liposomes are presented. The review also presents the latest innovations and advances that have been achieved in recent years.
