What's In It For You With Liposomal Clodronate Therapy

By Teri Farley


Everyday scientists and medical doctors work together to discover possible treatments, more likely a better one, for various medical diseases. Up until now, several medical conditions remain incurable such as AIDS and Cancer. But with continuous medical study and experimentation, some experiments have shown promising results, for an instance in autoimmune diseases such as that with liposomal clodronate.

True enough, the results on the several studies for such therapy were very promising, offering a new hope for patient suffering from immune system abnormalities. Liposome clodronate differs from any kind of therapy as it is delivered intracellularly. With the use of several advancements in medical therapy, treatment of medical diseases have become quite sophisticated indeed.

The immune system has an important role in a man's health. Under normal circumstances, the immune system defends the body from foreign cells which may cause infection such as common cough and colds. In addition to that, it may also send off several defensive mechanisms in the body perhaps to prevent additional trauma.

In other words, under normal circumstances the immune system is helpful. However, for some reason the immune system may not be functioning how it's supposed to be. In fact, it may cause diseases in the body thus the term, autoimmune disease meaning, "self'' made disease. Your own immune system is fighting with your own healthy cells and without medical intervention disease will progress rather quickly.

Clodronic acid liposome therapy, targets the macrophages to efficiently halt the attack of healthy cells. Suppressing your macrophages will slow down inflammation thus decreasing the pace of disease progression. Some autoimmune diseases have life threatening effect when not intervened properly, for an instance in myasthenia gravis.

More so, during transplant cases transplant rejection is not uncommon as the immune system may attack the new organ transplanted to the patients. To prevent this phenomenon, medical doctors most often than not start immunosupressive treatments to suppress the immune system and prevent it from attacking the transplanted organ, or in autoimmune diseases your healthy cells.

The mechanism of action on such therapy by far remains to be the most promising form treatment. Immune system suppression is not a new patient management or treatment for certain medical diseases, there have been several oral, parenteral or intravenous drugs were already made to achieve similar results. But some patients remain unresponsive.

With the discovery of these new therapy, it surely increases the hope of anyone suffering from severe autoimmune diseases to achieve disease remission. This may also decrease the chances of transplant rejection to those patients scheduled for transplantation in any parts of the body. All in all, clodronic acid liposome therapy is promising a good quality of life among patients.

The liposomal clodronate is no doubt a wonder drug as far as autoimmune diseases and transplantation is concerned. Medical studies and experiments are still going on for the therapeutic effect of such therapy in anti neoplastic drugs or Cancer in particular.
