The delivery of a drug to the site of action. The pharmaceutical formulation may target the molecule for transdermal, oral, or nasal/pulmonary delivery. Liposomes deliver molecules through membranes and immunotoxins target antibodies to specific tissues.
Drug delivery, generally, describes the art of applying a therapeutic agent.
the process by which a formulated drug is administered to the patient.
The use of physical, chemical, and biological components to deliver controlled amounts of a therapeutic agent. electrochemical methods Experimental methods used to study the physical and chemical phenomena associated with electron transfer at the interface of an electrode and a solution. Electrochemical methods are used to obtain analytical or fundamental information regarding electroactive species in solution. Four main types of electrochemical methods include potentiometry, voltammetry, coulometry, and conductimetry.
The method and route used to provide medication.
Drug delivery is a term that refers to the delivery of a pharmaceutical compound to humans or animals. Most common methods of delivery include the preferred non-invasive (through the mouth), nasal, pneumonial (inhalation), and rectal routes. Many medications, however, can not be delivered using these routes because they might be susceptible to degradation or are not incorporated efficiently.
