Study Notes

Parenteral Dosage Forms

A pyrogen is a substance that can cause a fever, and in the context of sterile dosage forms, it refers to the potential for a substance to induce a fever response in the body.

Routes of Drug Administration

The primary advantage of intravenous (IV) drug administration is that it allows for rapid and complete absorption of the drug, producing a quick onset of action.
The primary disadvantage of intramuscular (IM) drug administration is pain and discomfort at the injection site.
The maximum amount of medication that can be injected using the subcutaneous (SC) route is 1-2 mL, due to the limited absorptive capacity of the subcutaneous tissue.

Parenteral Administration

The term "parenteral" refers to the administration of a drug by injection, meaning that the drug is introduced into the body through a route other than the gastrointestinal tract, such as IV, IM, or SC injection.
