The rectal route of administration offers several advantages, including bypassing first-pass metabolism, which can enhance the bioavailability of certain drugs. It is also useful for patients who are vomiting or unable to swallow medications. However, disadvantages include variable absorption due to the rectal contents, potential discomfort or embarrassment for the patient, and limited drug formulation options. Additionally, some patients may have difficulty with self-administration or may refuse this route altogether.

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.
What is the medical term meaning administration of a medication by injection?
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.

What is the different routes for taking a temperature?
The three main routes for taking a temperature are oral, rectal, and axillary (underarm). Oral measurements are taken in the mouth, rectal measurements are taken in the rectum, and axillary measurements are taken in the armpit. Each route can provide slightly different readings, so it's important to use the same method consistently for accurate comparisons.
What are the types purpose and function of materials and equipment needed for the administration of medication via different routes?

Will oxycodone effect you more if you take the drug rectally?
No. The absorption of any opiate depends on the form (liquid/solid/gas) and the route of administration (oral, intravenous, rectal, inhaled). While there are some advantages of certain routes of administration which bypass initial degradation by the liver, for the most part rectal administration (ie "up the butt") is not likely to lead to higher or quicker blood levels. IF you wanted to have greater rectal absorption, I would suggest a liquid, an opiate with greater absorption characteristics (fentanyl, for example) and prolonged contact time (holding an enema for example). This still has the dangers of overdose (death or respiratory depression with aspiration) since it is hard to judge the effect in advance. I would suggest sticking to swallowing your oxycodone.
