Drug delivery method and absorption

The drug delivery method is described as the technique that carries drugs into or throughout the body. This technique included the method of delivery such as a pill that you swallow or a vaccine that is injected. It also describes the way that drugs are packaged like a micelle or a nanoparticle that protects the drug from degradation and allows it to travel to the effective side. So, the method of drug delivery can significantly influence how quickly a medication enters the bloodstream. Oral administration: This is the most common and self-administrative method. The drug is swallowed and absorbed in the GI tract. This is time-consuming and less effective than other methods. Intravenous injection: In this method, the drug reaches the bloodstream directly. This is the most effective and fastest method to absorb medicine in the body. But it needs professionals to push it into the bloodstream. Intramuscular injection: This is an alternate way to drug administration in the body other than intravenous. It is faster than oral but slower than I/V injection. It also needs professionals to push the body. Inhalation: this is another process for lung disease medicine which is quickly absorbed by.
