Points To Consider On 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 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 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.

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.

If there are advantages, you can also expect that there are disadvantages. This is what happens when the method is not yet perfect, you have to know what these are before agreeing to take the medication. One of the known disadvantage would be low solubility. The matter cannot dissolve easily on the body. This means that it would take time before it can also take effect.

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.

Even if it is already inside the capsule does not mean that it is already perfect. There is little percentage that it would be stable. And the production costs for this treatment is more expensive than others. You have to be prepared financially if you want to try it.
