Parenteral refers to any route of administration that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. These routes can include Intravenous therapy (IV therapy), intramuscular/ subcutaneous/intradermal injection, buccal, sublingual, or rectal administration, or transvaginal administration (as with the vaginal contraceptive or hormone-therapy ring). Medication patches are also parenteral.
