Drug delivery is a term that refers to the delivery of a
pharmaceutical compound to
humans or
animals. Most common methods of delivery include the preferred non-invasive (through the mouth),
nasal, pneumonial (inhalation), and rectal routes. Many
medications, however, can not be delivered using these routes because they might be susceptible to degradation or are not incorporated efficiently. For this reason many
protein and
peptide drugs have to be delivered by
injection. For example, many
immunizations are based on the delivery of protein drugs and are often done by injection.
