Drugs generally are administered in various ways like rally like in the form of syrups and capsules, or intravenously like some hormones and chemotherapeutic drugs. Some drugs are inhaled, or only applied topically, or may be inserted in the rectum or vagina as suppositories. Once they enter the blood, they actually start to work. They mainly work by inhibiting or preventing the production of certain enzymes or proteins in the cells. Also, there are some drugs which work by preventing the growth of microorganisms of the body in order to prevent infection or disease.
