Does the medicine know where the pain is in the body and go there..?

Medications don't work that way, in fact, medicines have no idea where they go when we take them.

Fortunately, your body has a system that is smart enough to direct the medicine juice and the active ingredient in it to exactly where it is needed.

When you swallow the medicine, it is transported through the stomach and small intestine to the liver, where it is broken down and the active ingredients in it are released into the bloodstream.

All the organs and tissues of the body will then be supplied with blood and the medicine will continue its journey through the bloodstream.

Although the medicines travel through the blood to all parts of the body..

But the active ingredient of the medicine is designed to target specific protein molecules called receptors

In the case of taking painkillers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, these chemicals have specific receptors that are caused by pain and inflammation as they travel through the bloodstream.

When the drug reaches its receptor, its molecules stick to these receptors and bind to them. Here, the active ingredient of the drug can perform its function, as the drug remains ineffective until it sticks to its receptor.

Once the drug enters the target cell, several interactions occur between the drug and the target inside the cell, where the treatment performs its desired effect.

In short, the drug is like a key to a lock that reaches all tissues and organs of the body and searches until it finds its own lock that suits it.
