drug-related adverse side effects and local targeting.Upon ingestion, the probiotics can result in beneficial health effects. Probiotics and micro and
nanoparticulate approaches for suitable targeting and overcome the drug-associated side effect. Probiotics are mainly used as gut modulators but
are also nowadays explored for their use in ulcerative colitis.The current therapeutic goals are to achieve clinical remission along with mucosal
healing, avoidance of complications such as side effects of the drug and to improve the quality of life. The use of probiotics to increase the health of
the intestine and used to block or manage intestinal disorders. They may prevent the induction of inflammatory reactions. Probiotics must be
inspected for efficacy in the prevention and management of a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases, like antibiotic-associated diarrhea.Micro
and Nanoparticulate drug delivery system has been achieving huge importance for targeting of the drug to colon locally at a controlled and
sustained rate.
