    GlossarySystemic Medications (Oral Drugs)

    drugs that affect the entire body via bloodstream

    Systemic medications are drugs that work throughout the entire body rather than targeting a specific area. They are often taken orally or injected, allowing the active ingredients to enter the bloodstream and reach various tissues and organs. This type of treatment is commonly used for conditions that affect multiple parts of the body, such as autoimmune diseases or widespread infections.
