Parenteral administration is used when the patient is unable to take the drug orally, rapid action of medication is needed, and medication is ineffective in the gastrointestinal tract. Parenteral administration is also used to avoid the gastrointestinal tract and its first pass effect and to delivery medication to specific organs or tissues.
