Targeted Drug Delivery Infographic

What is a targeted drug delivery system?

A targeted drug delivery system is a medical device or method that delivers therapeutic agents—such as drugs, biologics, or nanoparticles—directly to specific tissues, cells, or organs. This approach increases treatment precision, reduces side effects, and improves patient outcomes.

Why is targeted drug delivery important?

Targeted drug delivery enables localized treatment of diseases, especially in oncology, neurology, and autoimmune disorders. By focusing the therapy where it’s needed most, these systems improve efficacy and minimize systemic exposure.
