The document discusses various routes of drug administration. The choice of route depends on factors like the drug's properties, the desired site of action, absorption rate, and the patient's condition. Local routes like topical provide localized drug delivery while deeper tissue routes like injections target specific areas. Systemic routes include oral, sublingual, rectal, cutaneous, inhalation, nasal, and parenteral like subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous injections. Each route has advantages and limitations for drug delivery and absorption. The most appropriate route is selected based on the drug and clinical situation.

Metabolic Changes of Drugs and Related Organic Compounds describes the human metabolic processes of various functional groups found in therapeutic agents.
The importance of a chapter on metabolism lies in the fact that drug interactions are based on these processes.
For pharmacists, it is necessary for them to understand why certain drugs are contraindicated with other drugs.
This chapter attempts to describe the various phases of drug metabolism, the sites where these biotransformation will occur, the role of specific enzymes, metabolism of specific functional groups, and several examples of the metabolism of currently used therapeutic agents.
Dosage forms come in many types, depending on the method or route of administration. Solid dosage forms, semi-solid dosage forms, liquid dosage forms, and gaseous dosage forms are used for the diagnosis or treatment of the disease by various routes. Solid dosage forms are the most significant dosage forms in pharmaceuticals; it has one or more unit dose of medicament. The solid dosage form is the most commonly used and prescribed by doctors as compared to other dosage forms. It can be administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, etc. Of these, the tablet is one of the most commonly used oral solid dosage forms.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Pharmacology-I General Pharmacology
2. Routes of drug administration
The choice of appropriate route is depends on drug as well as patient related
factors such as-
Physical and chemical properties of the drug
Site of desired action
Rate and extent of absorption of the drug
Effect of digestive juices and first pass metabolism
Rapidity with which the response is desired
Condition of the patient
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 2
3. Routes of drug administration
Local Routes – Topical, Deeper tissue
1. Topical
External application of the drug to the surface for localized action
Drugs can be efficiently delivered to the localized lesions on skin,
oropharyngeal/ nasal mucosa, eyes, ear canal, anal canal or vagina in the
form of lotion, ointment, cream, powder, rinse, paints, drops, spray,
lozengens, suppositories or pessaries.
action on g.i. mucosa (sucralfate), inhalation for action
on bronchi (salbutamol) are other forms of topical medication
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 3
Local Action Systemic Action
4. 2. Deeper tissues
approached by using a syringe and needle
systemic absorption is slow,
e.g. intra-articular injection (hydrocortisone acetate in knee joint),
Infiltration around a nerve or intrathecal injection (lidocaine),
retrobulbar injection (hydrocortisone acetate behind the eyeball)
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 4
6. 1. Oral route
Drug administered through oral cavity
Oldest and commonest mode of drug administration
Advantages:
• Safer, more convenient, noninvasive, often painless
• Need no assistance,
• Need no sterilization of medicament
• Cheaper
• Both solid and liquid dosage form can be given orally
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 6
7. Disadvantages or Limitations:
• Action of drugs is slower and thus not suitable for emergencies
• Unpalatable drugs (chloramphenicol) are difficult to administer
• May cause nausea and vomiting.
• Cannot be used for uncooperative/
unconscious/vomiting patient.
• Absorption of some drug may
be variable
• Drugs may destroyed by digestive
juices (penicillin G, insulin)
• First pass effect
• Food drug interaction
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 7
8. 2. Sublingual or buccal route
Drug is placed under the tongue or
crushed in the mouth and spread
over the buccal mucosa
Advantages:
• Liver is bypassed and drugs with high first pass metabolism can be
absorbed directly into systemic circulation
• Absorption is relatively rapid
Disadvantages:
• Only lipid soluble and non-irritating drugs can be so administered
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 8
9. 3. Rectal route
Drugs can be put into rectum as
suppositories or retention enema
for systemic effect
Advantages:
• Irritant and unpleasant drug can be administered
• Can be used for uncooperative/unconscious/vomiting patient
• 50% bypasses liver
Disadvantages:
• Inconvenient and embarrassing
• Absorption is slower, irregular and often unpredictable
• Rectal inflammation can result from irritant drugs
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 9
10. 4. Cutaneous route
drugs can be applied over the skin for slow and prolonged absorption
• Liver is also bypassed
• Transdermal drug delivery systems (adhesive patches) are used
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 10
11. 5. Inhalation route
Volatile liquids and gases are administered
Absorption takes place from the vast surface of alveoli
Advantages:
• Action is very rapid
Disadvantages:
• Back diffusion of drug
• Irritant vapours (ether) cause inflammation of respiratory tract and
increase secretion
5. Nasal route
The mucous membrane of the nose can readily absorb many drugs
Spray or nebulized solution have been used by this route
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 11
12. 7. Parenteral route
Par—beyond, enteral—intestinal
Administration by injection which takes the drug directly into the
tissue fluid or blood without having to cross the enteral mucosa
Advantages:
• Drug action is faster (valuable in emergencies)
• Gastric irritation and vomiting are not provoked
• Can be given in unconscious, uncooperative or vomiting patient
• No chances of interference by food or digestive juices
• Liver is bypassed
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 12
13. Disadvantages:
• The preparation has to be sterilized and is costlier
• The technique is invasive and painful
• Assistance of another person is mostly needed
• Chances of local tissue injury
• Parenteral route is more risky than oral
Important parenteral routes are:
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 13
14. Subcutaneous (s.c.)
• The drug is deposited in the loose subcutaneous
tissue which is richly supplied by nerves
• Irritant drugs cannot be injected
• Only small volumes can be injected
• Self-injection is possible
• Depot preparations (oily solutions, aqueous suspensions) can be
injected
• Dermojet, Pellet implantation, Implants are some special forms of this
route
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 14
15. Intramuscular (i.m.)
• The drug is injected in one of the large skeletal muscles—deltoid,
triceps, or rectus femoris
• Mild irritants can be injected and more vascular (absorption of drugs in
aqueous solution is faster)
• It is less painful
• Deep penetration is needed
• Depot preparations can be injected
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 15
16. Intravenous (i.v.)
• The drug is injected as a bolus or infused slowly over hours in one of
the superficial veins
• The drug reaches directly into the blood stream and effects are
produced immediately
• Irritant drugs can be Injected by diluting the drug
or injecting it into a running i.v. line
• No depot preparations for this route
• Bioavailability of drug is 100%
• This is the most risky route beacouse vital organs like heart, brain, etc.
get exposed to high concentrations of the drug
DR. SUBHASH R. YENDE, GNCP NAGPUR 16
17. Intradermal injection
• The drug is injected into the skin raising a bleb (e.g. BCG vaccine,
sensitivity testing)
• This route is employed for specific purposes only
