Understand the different drug administration routes: Oral, Buccal, Sublingual, and Intravenous.
Oral administration involves swallowing a drug, where it is absorbed through the digestive tract.
Buccal administration involves placing a drug between the gums and the inner lining of the cheek, allowing absorption through the oral mucosa.
Sublingual administration involves placing a drug under the tongue, where it dissolves and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the tissues under the tongue.
Intravenous administration involves injecting a drug directly into the bloodstream through a vein.
