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.

This might be a good way to target more fatal diseases such as cancer and diabetes. But just like any other means of treatment that is recently discovered. There is still no guarantee of the effectiveness. It would be better if you have an idea on the risks and the advantages of using this method.

One of the good traits of the method is that it has increased the efficacy of the drug. This means that the capacity of the drug to heal was increased because it is enclosed in the liposome. Many researchers also think that the solution for the stability issue of the medication would be to encapsulate it.

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.

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.

There are many advantages and the method shows good potential. However, it is not perfect. And this should be acknowledged as well. One of the more notable disadvantages would be the hard solubility of the substance in capsule form. The effect would have to occur later because it does not dissolve easily.

It is true that the toxic can be decreased significantly. But there are also instances when leakages happen. It is still not considered as the perfect means to carry drugs. There are more times when it was not able to reach the destination and broke apart along the way.

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.
