Parenteral drugs are advisable when a patient cannot take medication orally due to factors like unconsciousness, inability to swallow, gastrointestinal issues, or when rapid onset of action is needed. This route involves delivering medication directly into the body via injection, intravenous infusion, or other methods, ensuring a quick and reliable absorption of the drug.
Yes, you can give two drugs by a parenteral use, but whether you can mix them in the same delivery system depends on the medications. Consult with your facility's pharmacist for advice specific to the medications.

A non-parenteral drug is one that is administered orally or by inhalation. Examples would be swallowing a pill or using an inhaler. Parenteral drugs are administered by injection or via transdermal patch (applied directly to the skin).
Total parenteral nutrition uses a larger bag.

The only thing I could come up with was this "You might need some parenteral quidance."
Parenteral administration is any administration that is not via the GI system, meaning oral or rectal. Parenteral means "around the enteral system." Intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections are all parenteral routes of administration. While inhalation would be considered parenteral in the strictest sense of the word, inhalation or aerosolization of medications are not usually considered parenteral, nor is topical administration.
It's always advisable not to mix drugs, and that includes alcohol.
Ready-to-use total parenteral nutrition is not used for paediatric patients and patients who are intolerant of some of its specific components.
