Targeted Therapeutics

Meaning

Targeted Therapeutics represent a class of pharmaceutical agents intentionally designed to interact with a specific, identifiable molecular target, such as a particular receptor, enzyme, or signaling pathway that is implicated in a disease process. Unlike traditional drugs that may affect numerous biological systems, these therapies aim for high selectivity, leading to greater efficacy and a reduction in systemic off-target side effects. In hormonal health, this approach allows for precise modulation of specific endocrine pathways.
