Route of administration
In
pharmacology and
toxicology, a route of administration is the path by which a
drug, fluid, poison or other substance is brought into contact with the body.Obviously, a substance must be transported from the site of entry to the part of the body where its action is desired to take place (even if this only means penetration through the
stratum corneum into the skin). However, using the body's transport mechanisms for this purpose can be far from trivial. The
pharmacokinetic properties of a drug (that is, those related to processes of uptake, distribution, and elimination) are critically influenced by the route of administration.
