Administering drugs
The idea behind this post is just to
inform those who might have to function if times get hard.
From
wikipedia
Drugs, both medicinal and
recreational, can be administered in a number of ways. Many drugs can be
administered in a variety of ways rather than just one.- Bolus
- Inhaled,
(breathed into the lungs), as an aerosol
or dry powder. (This includes smoking a substance)
- Injected as a
solution, suspension or emulsion either: intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intraosseous.
- Insufflation,
or snorted into the nose.
- Orally,
as a liquid or solid, that is absorbed through the intestines.
- Rectally
as a suppository, that is absorbed by the rectum or colon.
- Sublingually,
diffusing into the blood through tissues under the tongue.
- Topically,
usually as a cream or ointment.
A drug administered in this manner may be given to act locally or
systemically.[10]
- Vaginally as a suppository, primarily to treat vaginal infections.
