ABSTRACT
This brief chapter will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the injectable route of administration and provide some detail about the most common routes of injectable drug administration (1)
ADVANTAGES OF THE INJECTABLE ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION There is no question that if a person could choose between taking a drug product by mouth versus by injection, the oral route would always be chosen. Of course, this choice is not possible for many drug products and even if it were a choice, there are good reasons why the injectable route would be preferable.
