Gabapentin is an anti-seizure and nerve pain medication, doctors prescribe it as a safe alternative to opioids. But addicts have figured out — in high doses or mixed with other drugs — it can mimic an opioid euphoria.

Route of drug administration is the medium in which any drug is introduced into the body for its action. there are several routes of administration for the drug, like oral, sublingual, buccal, topical, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, vaginal and rectal.

There are various routes of administration available, each of which has associated advantages and disadvantages. All the routes of drug administration need to be understood in terms of their implications for the effectiveness of the drug therapy and the patient’s experience of drug treatment.
Route of administration plays a very important role In the duration as well as the onset of action of any drug. This important factor should be in mind while considering the administration. #pushpendrapatel#solutionpharmacy

Different route of drug administrations explained in this video are-
1- oral route of drug administration
2-Buccal route of drug administration
3- Sublingual route of drug administration
4-Parenteral route of drug administration
5-Intramuscular route of drug administration
6- Intravenous route of drug administration
7- Subcutaneous route of drug administration
8- Topical route of drug administration
9- Transdermal route of drug administration
10- Rectal route of drug administration
11- Vaginal route of drug administration

Pharmacokinetics is currently defined as the study of the
time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Clinical pharmacokinetics is the application of pharmacokinetic principles to the safe and effective therapeutic management of drugs in an individual patient. Pharmacokinetics influences the decided route of administration for a specific medication, the amount and frequency of each dose and its dosing intervals.

Pharmacokinetics of a drug depends on patient-related factors as well as on the drug’s chemical properties. Some patient-related factors (eg, renal function, genetic makeup, sex, age) can be used to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters in populations. For example, the half-life of some drugs, especially those that require both metabolism and excretion, may be remarkably long in the elderly

Before drugs can be clinically effective, they must be absorbed. Absorption is the process of a drug moving from its site of delivery into the bloodstream. The chemical composition of a drug, as well as the environment into which a drug is placed, work together to determine the rate and extent of drug absorption. Absorption involves several phases. First, the drug needs to be introduced via some route of administration (oral, topical-dermal, etc.) and in a specific dosage form such as a tablet, capsule, solution and so on. Drug absorption is determined by the drug’s physicochemical properties, formulation, and route of administration.

Pharmacokinetic- “What does BODY 1 do to the DRUG 2” we have simple interchanged the BODY and DRUG to make a definition. And as per the definition, our body responds to any drug by giving ADME effects.
1. A Stands for – Absorption
2. D stands for – Distribution
3. M stands for – Metabolism
4. E stands for- Elimination
