Not all are taken my mouth. It is easier to get people to take them if they can be given that way. When penicillin was first used, it was given by injection. In this method, there is the problem of getting rid of the needles and only health professional would do it. Imagine having to go to see the doctor several times a day. Some are put on the skin and are not taken by mouth.
