Long-Term Peptide Administration

Meaning

Long-Term Peptide Administration refers to the therapeutic strategy of continuously or cyclically delivering a biologically active peptide or protein drug over an extended duration, often spanning many months or years, to achieve sustained physiological modulation or disease management. This approach is necessitated by the short half-life and regulatory role of many peptide hormones. It requires meticulous clinical oversight and ongoing safety monitoring due to the potential for cumulative effects and immunogenic responses. This chronic dosing strategy is common for peptides used in metabolic or growth disorders.
