Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

685
Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection,  and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route01:18

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

1.5K
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.1K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

1.4K
The parenteral route is a critical method of drug administration. It delivers compounds directly into the systemic circulation and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This approach is particularly advantageous for drugs that exhibit poor absorption or instability when administered orally.
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...

Drug Delivery: Overview01:16

Drug Delivery: Overview

685
The selection of a drug's delivery route depends upon its physicochemical properties, including lipid or water solubility and ionization, as well as the therapeutic requirement, such as immediate or sustained effect. These routes can be divided into three primary categories: enteral, parenteral, and topical.
Enteral delivery involves administering drugs directly through swallowing, sublingual placement, or buccal application. Orally administered drugs predominantly navigate the...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Needle exchange programs (NEPs) are crucial for HIV prevention among injection drug users (IDUs).
  • Understanding the impact of service delivery models on NEP effectiveness is essential for optimizing public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine challenges associated with four NEP service delivery models: fixed, mobile, satellite, and home visits.
  • To assess how these models influence HIV prevention efforts.

Main Methods:

  • A modified ethnographic approach was employed.
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 59 staff members across 15 NEPs in Ontario.
  • An iterative, inductive analytic process was used to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • NEP effectiveness hinges on client development, retention, and service design.
  • Fixed, satellite, home visit, and mobile services offer varying degrees of temporal and spatial accessibility.
  • Integrating multiple delivery modes can mitigate the limitations of individual service models.

Conclusions:

  • Evaluations of NEPs must account for service delivery and resource factors.
  • Attributing program ineffectiveness solely to the program may overlook the impact of resource constraints on serving the target population.
