Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

338
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: Overview

287
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
  • Social Media Studies
  • Regulatory Science

Background:

  • Youth e-cigarette use remains high despite existing regulations.
  • This study investigates TikTok content related to e-cigarette sales and distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze TikTok videos and metadata concerning e-cigarette sales.
  • To identify methods used to circumvent regulations and target young consumers.

Main Methods:

  • Scraped 475 TikTok videos and metadata using an API (June 2022-August 2023).
  • Analyzed 25 most-viewed videos and annotated metadata using 11 codes.
  • Focused on popular hashtags like #discreetshipping and #puffbundle.

Main Results:

  • 367 videos advertised popular vaping brands (50.4%), including cannabis products (45%).
  • Products were bundled (28.6%), hidden (8.7%), shipped internationally (6%), and sold without age verification (45.2%).
  • Sellers directed customers to Instagram (57.5%) or other links (58.3%), with 8.2% using "Fake" to evade detection.

Conclusions:

  • Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are used to bypass e-cigarette regulations.
  • Regulatory agencies need to enhance enforcement on social media to combat illegal sales to youth.
  • Partnerships between regulatory bodies and platforms can help close regulatory loopholes.
