Drug Transport
Drug transport refers to the process by which medications are delivered to specific sites in the body. This can occur through various methods, including oral ingestion, injection, or topical application. Once administered, drugs travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to reach their target tissues or organs, where they exert their therapeutic effects.
The efficiency of drug transport is influenced by several factors, such as the drug's chemical properties, the route of administration, and the body's physiological conditions. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective treatments and ensuring that medications reach their intended destinations in the body.
