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.

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.

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.

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.

Not all of the encapsulated liposome have achieved the stable state. There are only very few. And you have to take note that the production cost of this treatment is very high. This would mean that you would have to pay more if you want to undergo the treatment.
