The route of drug administration determines how a medicine enters the body, affecting its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Routes can be systemic (oral, intravenous, intramuscular) or local (topical, inhalational, transdermal), each with advantages and limitations. Choosing the optimal route depends on drug properties, desired onset of action, patient compliance, and treatment objectives. Research focuses on novel delivery systems such as microneedles, inhalable nanoparticles, and implantable devices to enhance bioavailability and patient convenience. Understanding pharmacokinetics and formulation science is essential for optimizing drug delivery and therapeutic outcomes.
