Parenteral administration is any administration that is not via the GI system, meaning oral or rectal. Parenteral means "around the enteral system." Intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections are all parenteral routes of administration. While inhalation would be considered parenteral in the strictest sense of the word, inhalation or aerosolization of medications are not usually considered parenteral, nor is topical administration.
Parenteral controlled substances are controlled medications that are not given by mouth. Typically this means that a controlled substance, such as morphine, is intended to be injected and not given in pill form.
A non-parenteral drug is one that is administered orally or by inhalation. Examples would be swallowing a pill or using an inhaler. Parenteral drugs are administered by injection or via transdermal patch (applied directly to the skin).
Intradermal (into the skin itself). not to be confused with subcutaneous (just under the skin)

Punctures, injections, bites, cuts, wounds, surgery and split skin or mucous membranes (from swelling or dryness) are all examples of parenteral routes of infection. Source: Tortura, Funke, Case.
