Pros And Cons To The Liposome Manufacturing

By Katina Brady


When it comes to the diseases that a person can experience, there is a long list. And it is composed of different kinds. There are those that are common while some are very rare. Fortunately, most of these diseases can be cured. But sadly, there are also others that still has no cure and the worst part, these are the ones that are really deadly.

In the hope of finding a cure, doctors are still relentless in their pursuit. There are times that they succeed in developing new methods, but most instances they fail. Some of the methods are not as affective as the others but the good thing is that it still works. For instance, the usage of liposome to transport drugs for a specific sickness to a specific destination in the body. The liposome is an organic carrrier that is made of the same elements as the cell membrane. There are many people who encourage liposome manufacturing because the effects can be life changing.

The target of the treatment are the more fatal conditions. It is being tested on cancer and diabetic people. The only thing that is being debated is the fact that there was not enough research to perfect the method. And because of this, there are still downsides to the process along with the many benefits that it can provide the patient and the medical world.

One of the most notable advantage would be the increase of the effectiveness of the drug being transported. According to research, the therapeutic capacities of the medication was increased. And when it is encapsulated, the liposome tends to stabilize. Consequently, the drug also stabilizes.

The material fashioned into the liposome is the same as the cell membrane of the body. And because of this make up, it is a very safe means to carry medication to affected areas of the body. The other feature that is has is the flexible composition. It would not be easy to break it apart.

One thing that you have to endure when you are suffering from a severe illness are the strong medications. And this is supposed to be taken on a daily basis. But there are times that the medication for one sickness can be harmful to other organs. The good thing is that this can prevent that from happening. It will shield the organs from the toxic that the drugs bring.

It takes many years to perfect a certain method. And because this is just recently discovered, it is safe to say that the method is not yet even close to being perfect. The disadvantages that you will experience because of the treatment must be known before you try it. For example, there is the issue of hard solubility. It takes time for it to dissolve inside the system. And this could also mean that the effects cannot be felt until later.

Although there is a chance that the toxin is decreased, there is also a chance of leakage. The liposome is not a perfect carrier. At some point, it can break apart without reaching the destination. There are still many steps to take for this technology to be perfect.

Stability is very hard to achieve in terms of the liposome treatment. There are still many researches to be done before this can be achieved. Even when it is already in capsule, only a little number have succeeded in the stability test.
