Biologic Therapies

Meaning

Biologic therapies represent a class of medical interventions derived from living organisms, encompassing substances like antibodies, cytokines, growth factors, and recombinant proteins. These treatments differ fundamentally from conventional small-molecule drugs by targeting specific immunological or hormonal pathways with high precision. In the context of hormonal health, biologics can include engineered hormones or hormone-mimicking agents used to address deficiencies or modulate complex endocrine dysfunctions. Their application focuses on restoring physiological balance and addressing the root causes of disease at a cellular level.
