AFAMS

Definition:

A route of administration is the path by which a drug, fluid, poison or other substance is brought into contact with the body.

(Insert Dari)

AFAMS

Routes of administration can be divided into:

• Topical: Drugs are applied directly to the skin or mucous membranes, mainly for local action.

• Oral: used for systemic a whole body effect,

substance is given via the digestive tract.

• Parenteral: A drug administered parenterally is one injected via a hollow needle into the body at various sites and to varying depth.

• Rectal: Drugs given through the rectum by suppositories or enema.

• Inhalation: The lungs provide an excellent surface for absorption when the drug is delivered in gaseous, aerosol or ultrafine solid particle form.

Insert Dari

AFAMS

Topical Route(Insert Dari)

Skin

Dermal – acts at the site of application.

Trans-dermal - absorption of drug through skin.

Mucosal Membranes

• eye drops (onto the conjunctiva)

• ear drops

• intranasal route (into the nose)

AFAMS

Oral Route(Insert Dari)

Enters the body through the mouth.

It is intended for total body effect resulting from drug absorption through the gastrointestinal tract.

Insert Dari

AFAMS


• Advantages:

Convenient - portable, no pain, easy to take.

Cheap - no need to sterilize, compact, multi-dose bottles, automated machines produce tablets in large quantities.

Variety - tablets, capsules, suspensions, liquids.

AFAMS


Disadvantages:

Sometimes inefficient - certain drugs are not very well absorbed into the bloodstream.

First-pass effect - drugs

absorbed orally are transported to the general circulation via the liver. Drugs are then extensively metabolized in the liver reducing the amount of active drug circulating in the body.

AFAMS


Disadvantages:

Food - Food and G-I motility can affect drug absorption.

Often patient instructions include a direction to take with food or take on an empty stomach.

Not suitable for unconscious patient - Patient must be able to swallow solid dosage forms. Liquids may be given by tube.

AFAMS

Buccal/Sublingual route(Insert Dari)

Some drugs are taken as smaller tablets which are held in the mouth (buccal tablet) or under the tongue (sublingual tablet).

Advantages

Avoid hepatic first pass - The liver is by-passed thus there is no loss of drug by first pass effect for buccal administration.

Rapid absorption - Because of the good blood supply to the area, absorption is usually quite rapid.

AFAMS

Intravascular (IV, IA):

Placing a drug directly into blood stream.

• Intravenous (into a vein) • Intraarterial (into an artery).

Advantages • precise, accurate and quicker

onset.

Disadvantages• risk of embolism (blood clot).• high concentrations attained

rapidly leading to greater risk of adverse effects.


AFAMS


Intramuscular :

into the skeletal muscle.

Advantages

• suitable for injection of drugs formulated for rapid action and drug formulated for sustained release.

Disadvantages

• Pain at injection sites for certain drugs.

AFAMS

Subcutaneous (under the skin), e.g. insulin.

Intradermal, (into the skin itself) is used for skin testing some allergens.

Intrathecal (into the spinal canal) is most commonly used for spinal anesthesia .


AFAMS

Rectal route(Insert Dari)

Most commonly by suppository or enema.

Advantages

By-pass liver - Some of the veins draining the rectum lead directly to the general circulation, thus by-passing the liver. Reduced first-pass effect.

Useful - This route may be most useful for patients unable to take drugs orally (unconscious patients) or with younger children.

- if patient is nauseous or vomiting

AFAMS

Disadvantages

Erratic absorption - Absorption is often incomplete and erratic.

Not well accepted by patients.

Rectal route(Insert Dari)

AFAMS

Inhalation route(Insert Dari)

Used for gaseous agents and aerosols.

Advantages• Large surface area• thin membranes separate alveoli

from circulation• high blood flow

As result of that a rapid onset of action due to rapid access to circulation.

AFAMS

Disadvantages

Most addictive route of administration because it hits the brain so quickly.

Difficulties in regulating the exact amount of dosage.

Sometimes patients have difficulties in giving themselves a drug by inhaler.

Roman Numerals(Insert Dari)

Still commonly used when writing quantities on prescriptions.

Numbers 1 to 10 can be expressed in Roman numerals as follows:I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X.

Symbols are placed from left to right in order of value, starting with the largest.

• the numeral I can be placed before V and X to make 4 units (IV) and 9 units (IX) respectively • X can be placed before L and C to make 40 (XL) and 90 (XC) respectively • C can be placed before D and M to make 400 (CD) and 900 (CM) according to the same pattern

AFAMS

Roman Numerals(Insert Dari)

An example using the rules on the previous slide would be 1904: this is composed of 1 (one thousand), 9 (nine hundreds), 0 (zero tens), and 4 (four units).

To write the Roman numeral, each of the non-zero digits should be treated separately.

Thus 1,000 = M, 900 = CM, and 4 = IV.

Therefore, 1904 is MCMIV.
