IV. Discuss pros and cons of the parenteral route of drug administration.
The most common injections are intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (subcut).
Advantages:
Fast: 15-30 seconds for IV, 3-5 minutes for IM and subcut;
100% bioavailability;
Suitable for drugs not absorbed by the gut or those that are too irritant (anti-cancer);
One injection can be formulated to last days or even months (Depo-Provera, a birth control shot that works for three months);
IV can deliver continuous medication (morphine for patients in continuous pain, or saline drip for people needing fluids).
Disadvantages:
Onset of action is quick, hence more risk of addiction when it comes to injecting drugs of abuse;
Patients are not typically able to self-administer;
Belonephobia, the fear of needles and injection;
If needles are shared, there is risk of HIV and other infectious diseases;
It is the most dangerous route of administration because it bypasses most of the body’s natural defenses, exposing the user to health problems such as hepatitis, abscesses, infections, and undissolved particles or additives/contaminants;
If not done properly, potentially fatal air boluses (bubbles) can occur;
Need for strict asepsis.
