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.

There are still many conditions that has no cure. And many researches continue their mission to find one. Along the way, they have discovered several methods that was supposed to work but is not as effective as they hoped it would be. For example, there is a the liposome transport. A vesicle that helps the drug to reach the affected organ or cell and directly administer the drug. There are many people who have encouraged liposome manufacturing because it is effective.

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.

Because it is made from a material that is also found in the body, it is non toxic which means that it safe for consumption. It is also flexible with lesser chance of the agent breaking apart scattering the drug. It is being used for both systemic and non systemic medical administrations.

Most of the drugs being utilized by patients suffering from severe diseases are powerful and can be a toxic to the rest of the body. When it is carried by a liposome and it is also inside the capsule, the toxicity of the drug decreases. This also helps in shielding the rest of the tissues and the organs from harmful toxic that might be the cause of another condition.

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.

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.

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.
