per oral- which means oral route of administration.
The oral route of administration.
Usually used in connection with how a medication is given into the body, as the oral route, the intramuscular or intravenous route of administration.
Oral drug administration is taking medicine via the mouth.
Drugs given orally enter the body by way of traveling through the mouth and into the GI system. Drugs given parenteraly enter through the blood stream (IVs, for example) and act within the body must faster than those given orally. There is a higher risk for infection or complication with parenteral administration than with oral.
A tympanic route refers to administering medication through the ear canal, which can bypass the need for oral administration. This method is often used for rapid drug delivery in emergency situations where other routes are not accessible.
Oral agreements are not advisable. While they can be enforced, having it in writing is safer.
The route of administration of a drug can affect its bioavailability by influencing factors such as first-pass metabolism, absorption rate, and drug stability. For example, intravenous administration bypasses the first-pass metabolism, leading to higher bioavailability compared to oral administration where the drug may be metabolized before reaching the systemic circulation. Additionally, different routes can also affect the onset of action and duration of drug effects.
