Local drug delivery
Local drug delivery
Local drug delivery refers to the administration of medications directly to a specific target site within the body, typically in close proximity to the area where the drug is needed. This method allows for a higher concentration of the drug to be delivered to the desired site while minimizing systemic exposure and potential side effects in other parts of the body.
Local drug delivery offers several advantages over systemic drug administration, including improved drug efficacy, reduced systemic side effects, and the ability to achieve therapeutic concentrations at the target site. Additionally, it can be particularly beneficial for treating conditions that are localized or difficult to reach using traditional oral or intravenous routes of administration.
