How does medicine know where to go?!
Question:
How does medicine know where to go?
Say you have a headache and you take tylenol or something how does the tylenol get to the problem. or say your taking medicine that has to do with any other body system besides the digestive system how does it fix something in another system when you swallow it and it goes into your digestive system?
Answers:
When you take a tylenol or other medication, it "breaks open" and releases the medication into your body. This medication is absorbed into your blood stream, and transported throughout your body. It doesn't only go into treating what's bothering you, it travels throughout your entire body via the blood stream, you just don't know it because the other areas it goes too weren't bothering you in the first place.
