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 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.

Many people claimed that the treatment was an effective means. But the truth is that there is still lacking research for it. And even though there are known benefits which makes it a potentially good method, the risks and draw backs cannot be denied as well. Before undergoing the method, you have to have an idea on what exactly you are going into.

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.
