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.

Many people claimed that the treatment was an effective means. But the truth is that there is still lacking research for it. And even though there are known benefits which makes it a potentially good method, the risks and draw backs cannot be denied as well. Before undergoing the method, you have to have an idea on what exactly you are going into.

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.

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.

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.

Many people find that this is very handy because it helps with the decrease of the toxins. But that does not mean that it could not leak. There have been many incidents on the test that this happened.

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.
