Procaine penicillin is designed to delay the absorption of drug. So that effective level persists for twenty four hours. It should not be taken orally. You can take benzyl penicillin or crystalline penicillin orally, which again is destroyed by gastric juice and partially absorbed.

Why intramuscular administration has delayed onset?
To answer this question, a few facts have to be established. It is generally known that oil and water do not mix (one can see this when attempting to shake up a bottle of oil and vinegar salad dressing). With this, the human body's blood is like water and the drug in injection is like oil. When an intramuscular injection is giving, the oil-like drug sits in the muscle as water-like blood passes by. The drug does not want to readily dissolve into the blood so it will sit in the muscle. Over time though, the blood will "wash" some of the drug from the muscle into the blood where the drug can reach its intended destination and thus carry out its effect.

What is the effect if sodium bicarbonate injection is taken orally?
Assuming you swallow the contents of an ampule intended for IV injection (using that as the dosage), really nothing at all. Sodium bicarbonate is used in baking a lot. It's a salt and therefore an electrolyte, but the dosage you've described is so small it should have no observable effect on an unremarkable patient if delivered orally.

What are some of the most popular accidental inventions?
There have been a surprising number of significant, popular and occasionally humorous accidental inventions and discoveries. Perhaps most notably of all these include Penicillin where Fleming did not keep his workstation tidy and some fungus started growing on his experiments. Radioactivity and pacemakers were both discovered by accident as was cola (coke was originally intended as a headache drug), viagra (intended as a treatment for angina) and saccharin.

Why can't a flu shot be given sub q?
Most of the flu vaccines for injection are designed to be given in the muscle tissue. If your injection was given with the wrong length needle and it ended up in the subcutaneous tissue instead of the muscle, it may still provide some immunity. Check with the clinician who gave you the shot, or with your doctor or pharmacist to find out if you will need another vaccination to be fully protected. There is a new form of flu vaccine that is made to be injected intradermally (within the layers of the skin). It comes with its own micro-injection system that should assure the injection is in the correct tissue. This would be a type that would likely work better than the IM formulation if given subcutaneously, but the vaccines are not intended to be given by that route.
