  16. Excretion
    Refers to the elimination of drugs from the body after they have been metabolized
  17. Oral
    • Medications taken by mouth
    • They travel to the the small intestine where absorption takes place

  22. Subcutaneous
    Drugs are administered below the epidermis. Absorption through the capilaries is fairly rapid
  23. Intramuscular
    Absorption of medication via this route is variable depending on the formation of the drug and which muscle it is injected into.
  24. Intravenous
    This route is achieves the most rapid systemic response. It is used if a rapid effect is desired or if a drug can not be injected into body tissues with out damaging them
  25. Tropical Routes

    A skeletal muscular relaxant
  45. Hypoglycemic agents
    Controls the level of glucose in the blood
  46. The purpose of drug metabolism is to
    Transform the drug for distribution throughout the body
  47. Drugs given by mouth are generally given in larger doses. This is because

  48. For a drug to reach its therapeutic effect quickly a physicain migh order
