Drug Administration and Dosage
- A dose is the amount of a drug taken at one time, and it is essential in drug abuse.
- There are four types of drug doses:
- Minimal dose: the smallest amount of a drug that produces a therapeutic effect.
- Maximal dose: the largest amount of a drug that produces a desired therapeutic effect without symptoms of toxicity.
- Toxic dose: the amount of a drug that produces untoward effects or symptoms of poisoning.
- Abusive dose: the amount of a drug that produces side effects and actions desired by an individual who improperly uses it.
- Lethal dose: the amount of a drug that will cause death.
Routes of Drug Administration
- Oral ingestion: the most common method of administration, where the drug is taken by mouth and passes through the stomach before being absorbed into the bloodstream.
- Inhalation: the second most common method, where the drug in gaseous form enters the lungs and is quickly absorbed by the rich capillary system.

- Subcutaneous (SC): injecting the drug just below the surface of the skin.
- Intramuscular (IM): injecting the drug into a large muscle mass with a good blood supply.
