How Drugs Work

Question 11 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Some drugs, like antibiotics, can be administered several different ways. In which way will this change the action of the drug?

Answer
A
Different routes of administration change the drug receptor.
B
Different routes of administration change the pharmacology.
C
Different routes of administration change the absorption of the drug.
D
Different routes of administration change the therapeutic effects of the drug.

Explanation

The route of administration affects how a drug enters the bloodstream and how quickly or completely it is absorbed. For example, a drug taken by mouth must pass through the digestive system, while an injected drug enters by a different pathway. The route does not change the drug’s receptor; it mainly changes its absorption.
