Routes Of Drug Administration: General Pharmacology Lectures - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Routes of Drug Administration is a crucial topic in pharmacology that explores the various ways in which drugs are introduced into the body for therapeutic purposes. This includes common routes like the oral route (PO), where drugs are taken by mouth and absorbed through the gastrointestinal system; the intravenous (IV) route, which delivers drugs directly into the bloodstream for immediate effect; and the intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) routes, which involve injections into the muscle or under the skin for slower, sustained drug release. Other routes include topical application, where drugs are applied directly to the skin for localized effects, and inhalation, which allows drugs to be absorbed rapidly through the lungs. The sublingual route provides quick absorption by placing drugs under the tongue, while the rectal route is used when oral administration is not possible. Understanding these routes helps healthcare providers choose the most effective and appropriate method of drug delivery based on the drug’s characteristics and the patient’s condition. 💊💉🌍 #pharmacology #DrugAdministration #PharmacologyLectures #Medicine #DrugDelivery #OralRoute #Intravenous #Intramuscular #Sublingual #TopicalMedication #InhalationTherapy #MedicalEducation #PharmaceuticalScience #DrugAbsorption #MedicalStudents #HealthcareProfessionals #SafeMedication
