There are many disadvantages associated with the use of certain drugs. Therefore, therapeutically effective and patient-compliant drug delivery systems continuously lead researchers to design novel tools and strategies. Polymers are an excellent choice to obtain drug-carriers because of their stability and capability for high loading of many agents and their control over drug release kinetics and capability for modified their surface for attached ligands. In this work the behavior of polymers as drug carriers was studied. Salicylic acid loaded polymeric microparticles were synthesized and fully characterized showing that they are potential drug delivery systems
