Hormone Delivery

Meaning

Hormone Delivery refers to the specific pharmaceutical method or designated route of administration meticulously utilized to introduce exogenous hormones or their essential precursors into the body to achieve a targeted therapeutic concentration in the systemic circulation and at the cellular receptor site. The clinical choice of delivery system—such as transdermal creams, subcutaneous pellets, oral capsules, or intramuscular injections—is a critical decision that profoundly impacts the hormone’s bioavailability, effective half-life, and specific metabolic pathway. Effective delivery ensures consistent, physiological dosing that mimics the body’s natural rhythm.
