How are Therapeutic Agents Delivered to Target Tissues?
Therapeutic agents can be delivered to target tissues through various routes, including:
1. Oral administration: Medications are ingested and absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. 2. Intravenous injection: Drugs are directly administered into the bloodstream for rapid distribution. 3. Topical application: Agents are applied directly to the skin or mucous membranes. 4. Localized delivery: Techniques such as intratumoral injections or localized drug-eluting implants deliver agents directly to specific tissues.
