Study Notes
Other Methods of Drug Administration
-
Oral inhalation - rapid delivery of drug over large surface area of respiratory tract.
- Anesthetics are applied this way.
- Have a quick and local effect.
- Can use smaller doses.
- Side effects are limited.
- Technique of administration is hard to achieve.
-
Nasal inhalation
-
Intrathecal/intraventricular - BBB prevents or delays some drugs entering CNS.
-
Topical - useful when local effect of drug is needed (creams).
-
Transdermal - achieves systemic effects by applying to skin via transdermal patch. Rate of absorption can vary depending on skin characteristics and lipid solubility of drug.
- Used for sustained delivery of drugs such as anti-anginal drug.
