Chronotherapeutics

Chronotherapeutics is the study and application of how time affects drug efficacy and patient health. It recognizes that biological processes in our bodies, like sleep cycles and hormonal fluctuations, vary throughout the day. By timing medication administration to align with these natural rhythms, chronotherapeutics aims to enhance treatment outcomes, reduce side effects, and improve overall health. For example, taking a medication when the body is most responsive can increase its effectiveness. This approach is being explored for various conditions, including sleep disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the connection between time and wellness.
