What is a non-parenteral drug?
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.
What is the meaning of non parenteral administration?
Non-parenteral administration refers to routes of drug delivery that do not involve injections or puncturing the skin. This method includes oral, sublingual, buccal, rectal, transdermal, and inhalation routes, allowing medications to be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract or other mucosal surfaces. Non-parenteral methods are often preferred for their ease of use and reduced risk of infection compared to parenteral routes.
