biologic therapy

Biologic therapy refers to treatments derived from living organisms or their products, often used to target specific components of the immune system. Unlike traditional medications, which may affect the entire body, biologics are designed to interrupt specific processes that cause diseases, particularly autoimmune disorders and cancer. These therapies can include proteins, antibodies, and vaccines that help the body fight infections or diseases more effectively. Because they’re tailored to target specific cellular pathways, biologics can offer more precision in treatment, improving outcomes while potentially reducing side effects compared to conventional therapies.
