Why does the dosage of oral drugs differ to that of intravenous?
The simple answer as to why dosages of oral medication differ from intravenous (IV) doses of pharmaceuticals is that to be effective, oral medication must be absorbed in the digestive system. Anything given in an IV is in you and that means all of it. Yes, your body can process out some of the IV medication, but this is different than your body having to absorb it in the gastrointestinal tract.

Can pregnancy pills make your hair grow?
There are certain types of medication that cause side-effects like hair growth, and vitamins like over-the-counter Biotin for that exact purpose: hair, nail and skin growth and health. Pregnancy pills can be one of those types, depending on the pill. I personally wouldn't suggest taking pregnancy pills just so that your hair will grow (try Biotin first for that!), but if you're currently on pills, don't be surprised if your hair does grow a little faster than usual, or a little longer than it has before.
