How do drugs that absorb through the skin affect the body's absorption process?
Drugs that absorb through the skin can bypass the body's normal absorption process, allowing them to enter the bloodstream directly. This can lead to faster and more efficient delivery of the drug into the body compared to oral medications.
what is oral strips?
Oral strips are thin, dissolvable films that deliver active ingredients, like vitamins or medications, directly into the bloodstream through the mouth's mucous membranes. They dissolve quickly on the tongue for fast and effective absorption.
What does s for orally administered medications compare with those administered by parenteral routes?
The bioavailability of orally administered medications is generally lower than that of parenteral routes, primarily due to factors like first-pass metabolism in the liver and variability in absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Oral medications can have delayed onset of action due to the time required for digestion and absorption. In contrast, parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intramuscular administration, provide more immediate and predictable drug effects, as they bypass the digestive system entirely. However, oral medications are often more convenient and less invasive for patients.

Is it possible for opiates to not absorb in the body?
Yes, it is possible for opiates to not absorb effectively in the body due to various factors. For instance, certain medical conditions, gastrointestinal issues, or the presence of specific medications can interfere with absorption. Additionally, the method of administration can affect absorption rates; for example, oral opiates may be less effective in individuals with compromised digestive systems. However, under normal circumstances, opiates are generally well-absorbed when taken as directed.
Which route of administration allows a medication to enter the bloodstream directly?
Medications given by Intravenous (IV) routes are 100% absorbed because they have no barriers to entry into the bloodstream.Intramuscular (IM) injections give less absorption because it enters large muscle.Subcutaneous (Sub-Q) injections give less absorption because it enters the fatty layer of tissue just under the skin.Oral administration must travel through stomach and small intestines before absorption occurs.Sub-lingual (under the tongue) has a faster and higher rate of absorption than "by mouth" (oral) because sub-lingual means the med sits against the oral mucosa as it dissolves and is picked up by capillaries.Rectal administration and vaginal administration has a slightly higher rate of absorption than oral administration because
