Study Notes
Routes of Administration
- Different routes of administration exist, based on dosage form, patient condition, administration possibility, and desired effect.
Local Administration
- Local administration targets a specific area.
- Routes include oral, topical, inhalatory, intra-articular, intrauterine, intramammary, and intrathoracic.
Systemic Administration
- Systemic administration disperses the medication throughout the body.
- Systemic administration means the drug is circulating in the systemic circulation.
- This reaches one or more organs via the blood, producing desired effects that aren't at the site of administration.
- This doesn't exclude local effects (irritation or necrosis may occur) at the administration site.
- Routes include oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraosseous, intradermal, inhalatory, intraperitoneal, and intrathoracic.
