Drug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning, involves finding new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. This approach leverages the known pharmacokinetics, safety profiles, and manufacturing processes of existing drugs to accelerate the development of new therapies, often with lower costs and reduced risks compared to developing new drugs from scratch. Here are key strategies used in drug repurposing:
