Indicate the route of introduction of a drug which doesn't belong to enteral:
Intravenous
Study Notes
Factors Influencing Drug Absorption
- pH of the gastroenteric tract is not a factor that influences the process of drug absorption.
Pharmacokinetic Index
- Protein binding is the pharmakokinetical index that should be taken into account in the administration of drugs firmly connected to the blood proteins.
Mechanism of Absorption
- Lipophilic drugs are absorbed through passive diffusion.
Mechanism of Penetration
- Inhibiting ATP synthesis blocks the active transport mechanism of penetration through the cell membrane.
Routes of Drug Introduction
- Parenteral route is the route of introduction of a drug that doesn't belong to enteral.
