Pros And Cons To The Liposome Manufacturing

By Katina Brady


The human body has to face threats from various elements everyday. If you have a good functioning immune system, then you are lucky because you are able to repel various types of diseases. But for others, this is not a privilege that they get to experience. There are some who are plagued by incurable diseases. And more often than not, these are the types that can be very deadly.

In the hope of discovering ways to heal these conditions, many newer methods were created. And even if they are not as effective as they are presumed to be, they still serve a very effective purpose. One perfect example for this is the liposome. It would look like a tiny bubble that is made from the same material as that of the membrane of the cell. The main purpose for this is to help the medicines make their way to the proper areas. Because of the effectiveness, liposome manufacturing was started.

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.

If you think of benefits, one that is most profound would be the capacity that it has to boost the effectivity of the drug that is stored inside it. The capacity of the drug to heal was heightened because of the method it was transported to the body. And because it is not stable, it would have to be capsulized so that it will achieve stability.

It is also good to note that it is organic. The material for the composition of the liposome is the same as the cell tissue that is also found in the human body. So even if it is inside the system, it will pose no threat since it is not harmful. The flexibility that it has would come in handy when it has to make the travel through the body system.

When you suffer from more serious conditions, the medication tend to increase so is the dosage. And the drugs being used are very powerful that it can also harm other parts of the body. But when it is inside the liposome, you are helping protect the body from the toxics of the drugs. The other organs are shielded from harmful substances especially if they are sensitive.

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.

Many people find that this is very handy because it helps with the decrease of the toxins. But that does not mean that it could not leak. There have been many incidents on the test that this happened.

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.
