Route |
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
Oral |
Most convenient Usually least expensive Safe, does not break skin barrier Administration usually does not cause stress
|
Inappropriate for patients with nausea and vomiting Drug may have unpleasant taste or odour Inappropriate when gastrointestinal tract has reduced motility Inappropriate if patient can’t swallow or is unconscious Drug may discolour teeth, harm tooth enamel Drug may irritate gastric mucosa Drug can be aspirated by seriously ill patients |
Sublingual Buccal |
Same as oral route, plus Drug can be administered for local effect More potent than oral route because drug directly enters the blood and bypasses the liver |
If swallowed, drug may be inactivated by gastric juice Drug must remain under tongue or between the cheek and gums until dissolved and absorbed Drug is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream |
Rectal |
Can be used when drug has objectionable taste or odour Drug released at slow, steady rate |
Dose absorbed is unpredictable |
Vaginal |
Provides a local effect |
Limited use |
Topical |
Provides a local therapeutic effect Few side effects |
May be messy and may soil clothes Drug can enter body through abrasions and cause systemic effects |
Transdermal |
Prolonged systemic effect Few side effects Avoids gastrointestinal absorption problems |
Leaves residue on the skin that may soil clothes |
Subcutaneous |
Onset of drug action faster than oral
|
Must involve sterile technique as it breaks skin barrier More expensive than oral Can administer only small volume Slower than intramuscular administration Some drugs can irritate tissues and cause pain Can produce anxiety |
Intramuscular |
Pain from irritating drugs is minimized Can administer larger volume than subcutaneous Drug is rapidly absorbed |
Breaks skin barrier Can produce anxiety
|
Intradermal |
Absorption is slow (an advantage in testing for allergies) |
Amount of drug administered must be small Breaks skin barrier
|
Intravenous |
Rapid effect
|
Limited to highly soluble drugs Drug distribution inhibited by poor circulation |
Inhalation |
Introduces drug throughout respiratory tract Rapid localized relief Drug can be administered to unconscious client |
Drug intended for localized effect can have systemic effect Of use only for the respiratory system |
