High dose, low frequency parenteral gold administration
Abstract:
A dosage plan of up to 200 mg of aurothioglucose at approximately 4-week intervals was tested. Moderate or major improvement occurred in 20 of the 30 patients entered. Mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate fell from 46 to 26 mm/h, mean grip strength rose from 99 to 179 mm Hg (best hand) and mean number of swollen joints declined from 10.9 to 3.3. Maximum improvement occurred at a mean cumulative dose of 649 mg and after an average of 18 weeks and 5 visits. These data suggest that more efficient strategies for gold administration can be devised.

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
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...
