sterile drugs if meeting several criteria have advantages because the may be use intravenously, intraspinal or intrathecal or im. but must also be preservative free for spinal, intrathecal. non sterile drugs generally are only for "by mouth" or rectal administration. JUST B/C A DRUG IS STERILE DOES NOT MEAN ITS AUTOMATICALLY SUITED FOR IV, IM, IS, IT ADMINISTRATION. other factors like pH and what kind of base it is, or salt it is or acid it is. certain drugs may precipitate or be too harsh for certain above listed routes of administration
