There are several main routes of drug administration into the body: 1. Oral administration involves taking drugs by mouth, where they are dissolved in the stomach or intestines. This is the oldest route of administration. 2. Parenteral administration involves injection of drugs directly into the body using a needle, which can be intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous. 3. Other routes include buccal/sublingual (under the tongue), rectal, topical (applied to skin or mucous membranes), and transdermal (through the skin for systemic distribution).
