Sustained Hormone Delivery

Meaning

Sustained Hormone Delivery is a pharmacological principle and clinical practice involving the administration of hormones via a method that maintains stable, therapeutic concentrations in the bloodstream over an extended period, closely mimicking the body’s natural, non-pulsatile baseline secretion. This delivery method is designed to avoid the supraphysiological peaks and sub-therapeutic troughs often associated with conventional oral or short-acting injectable formulations. Achieving this stability is paramount for maximizing receptor sensitivity and minimizing side effects. It ensures physiological signal consistency.
