ORAL ROUTE
Oral refers to
two methods of administration:
ORAL
Advantages
ORAL
Disadvantages
First-pass Effect
First-pass Effect
tablets
capsules
liquids
solutions
suspensions
syrups
elixirs
SUBLINGUAL ROUTE
Sublingual administration is
where the dosage form is
placed under the tongue
rapidly absorbed by
sublingual mucosa
SUBLINGUAL ROUTE
11
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
BUCCAL ROUTE
Buccal
administration
is where the
dosage form is
placed between
gums and inner
lining of the cheek
(buccal pouch)
absorbed by
buccal mucosa
BUCCAL ROUTE
ADVANTAGES
Avoid first pass effect
Rapid absorption
Drug stability
DISADVANTAGES
Inconvenience
advantages lost if
swallowed
Small dose limit
RECTAL ROUTE
14
By Suppository
or Enema
E.g. aspirin,
theophylline,
chlorpromazine
Advantages
Used in children
Little or no first pass effect
Used in
Vomiting/unconscious
Higher concentrations rapidly achieved
Disadvantages
Absorption is slow and erratic
Irritation or inflammation of rectal mucosa can occur
Inconvenient and patient may feel embarrassment

18
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
Bioavailability 100%
Desired blood concentrations
achieved
Quick and predictable action
Large quantities
Vomiting & diarrhea
Emergency situations
First pass avoided
Gastric manipulation avoided
Intravenous
DRUGS CAN BE GIVEN IV AS;
1 bolus
2 slowly
3 slow infusion
INTRAMUSULAR ROUTE
20
ADVANTAGES
Absorption reasonably
uniform
Vascularity of muscle is good
so absorption is rapid than SC
Rapid onset of action
Mild irritants can be given
First pass avoided
Gastric factors can be avoided
Depot preparations can be
used
DISADVANTAGES
Site of IM injection
SUBCUTANEOUS
Advantages
Disadvantages
Depot preparations
Dermoget: insulin
Pellet implantation: DOCA, Testosterone
Biodegradable and non biodegradable
(sialistic) implantation: progestin implant
Insulin pumps: CSII (continuous
Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion)
INTRADERMAL/ TRANSCUTENEOUS
(ID/TC)
INOCULATION :administration of
vaccine (like small pox vaccine )

Pharmacovigilance is:
a) The study of biological and therapeutic effects of drugs
b) The study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and
excretion of drugs
c) The study of adverse effects of drug
d) The study of methods of new drug development
