Magnetic Drug Targeting

Magnetic Drug Targeting involves attaching medication to tiny magnetic particles and directing them to a specific area in the body using an external magnetic field. This technique allows healthcare providers to concentrate the treatment precisely where needed, such as a tumor or infection site, reducing side effects on healthy tissues. Once accumulated at the target, the medication is released to act locally. It's a promising approach to improve the effectiveness of treatments like cancer therapy, offering greater control and minimizing overall drug exposure in the body.
