Different types of lipid based vesicular systems have been developed now a days for several applications inside the controlled and targeted drug delivery. Pharmacosomes bearing unique advantages over liposomes along with niosomes have been emerged as potential alternative to conventional vesicles. These are the amphiphilic phospholipid complexes of drugs which having active hydrogen that bind to phospholipids. They provide an efficient method for delivery of drug directly to the site of infection as well as reduction of drug toxicity with no adverse effects along with low cost of therapy. They help for better biopharmaceutical properties to the drug, resulting in improved bioavailability, especially in case of poorly soluble drugs. Pharmacosomes have been produced for several applications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, proteins, cardiovascular and antineoplastic drugs.
