Points To Consider On Liposome Manufacturing

By Katina Brady


There are many types of conditions that some people have suffered at some point in their life. On the other hand, there are also others who get to experience more serious conditions. And even though this is a rare occurrence, it still happens. The sad fact is that there is still no cure to it. Most of these conditions are known to be deadlier than others which can be really alarming.

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.

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.
