Abstract

The present disclosure presents systems, devices and methods for injection of drugs, substances and/or chemicals to a patient and for improving their effectiveness once they are injected are disclosed. Additional treatment can be applied to a tissue region on the patient into which a drug (e.g., insulin) is injected, to expose the tissue region to various forms of energy or a substance to improve the drug'"'"'s pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profile.

Claims

1. An apparatus for delivering therapeutic fluid to a patient at an injection site, comprising:

a fluid injection device having a housing, wherein said housing contains;

an injector for injecting the therapeutic fluid to the injection site; and

a reservoir for containing the therapeutic fluid;

a treatment element coupled to said fluid injection device and configured to apply treatment to the injection site;

wherein said treatment element is further configured to improve pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamics property of the therapeutic fluid.
