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!

Derived from two Greek words:
Pharmakon (drugs) and Logos (science).
It is the study of the actions of drugs on living system.
It includes:
Biochemical and Physiological effects,
Mechanism of action
Therapeutic uses
Adverse effects of drugs.
3. As per WHO Scientific group
“Any Substance or product that is used and intended to
be used to modify or explore the physiological system or
pathological state for the benefit of the recipient “

7. Routes of Drug Administration
Methods by which a drug is given to a
person
Types:
A) Enteral
B) Parenteral
7
9. 1) Oral Route
Drug is taken in mouth and swallowed by
water or other fluid
Advantages:
Most commonly used
Convenient
Economical
9
10. Disadvantages of Oral route
Requires cooperation of patient
Bad taste or bad smell=vomiting e.g., quinine
(bitter taste); castor oil (bad smell)
Irritation on gastric mucosa
e.g., aspirin irritation of stomach
Destruction of drug by digestive enzymes,
e.g., benzyl penicillin, insulin
10
11. Metabolism of drug during its absorption c/d
first pass effect or first pass metabolism
e.g. antiviral drugs.
11
12. 2) Sublingual Route
Drugs kept under tongue rapid absorption and
quick effect e.g., nitroglycerin
Advantages:
Quick absorption= rapid effect
No first pass effect
Economical & no need of
other person
12
13. Disadvantages of sublingual route
Cant be used in vomiting
Cant be used in unconscious person
Irritation of oral mucosa with excessive saliva
formation = swallowing of drug
13
14. 3) Rectal Route
Solid drug administration into rectum=
Suppository,
Liquid drug administration into rectum=
Enema
For local or systemic effect, e.g. corticosteroids
(local), indomethacin (systemic)
14
15. Advantages of Rectal route
Used in unconscious
Used in vomiting
Uncooperative child
For drug causing irritation of stomach e.g.,
indomethacin & aminophylline
15
16. Disadvantages of rectal route
Repeated use cause irritation & inflammation
of rectal mucosa
Unpredictable absorption
First pass hepatic metabolism (portal
circulation)
16
18. BUCCAL ROUTE
ADVANTAGES
–Avoid first pass effect
–Rapid absorption
–Drug stability
DISADVANTAGES
–Inconvenience
– advantages lost if
swallowed
–Small dose limit
19. B) Parenteral Route
Administration of drugs by routes other
than GIT
Types:
1) Injectables (most often)
2) Inhalations
3) Topical/Local
19
20. 1) Injections
Administration of drug with special
instrument (syringe or infusion apparatus)
Types:
Intravenous (I.V.)
Intramuscular (I.M.)
Subcutaneous (S.C.)
Intrathecal (I.T.)
Intra-articular (I.A.)
20
21. Intravenous route
Injection of drug into peripheral vein
Quick effect
For short duration of drugs & for large
quantities of drugs (normal saline, dextrose sol.)
Methods:
a) Bolus injection (vein by syringe)
b) Infusion (apparatus)
21
22. Advantages of Intravenous Route
Use in emergency (rapid effect)
Highly effective & reliable route
Bioavailability =100%
Rate of infusion of drug can be controlled
according to response of patient
22
23. Disadvantages of intravenous route
Requires help of technical person
Proper aseptic precautions
Serious adverse or toxic effect can occur
Some drugs can cause irritation of vein wall
e.g., diazepam
23
24. Intramuscular route
Direct injection of drug into skin muscle by
syringe e.g. of muscles; Deltoid, gluteus
maximus.
24
25. Advantages of IM route
Reliable route
Effect= 10-30 min
Rate of abs. rapid than S.C.
Depot preparation, prolonged period
25
26. Disadvantages of IM route
Trained person
Proper aseptic precaution
Irritation of skin muscles by some drugs e.g.,
penicillin
Use of drug in limited amount
No removal of drug from site of injection
26
27. Subcutaneous route
Injection of drug beneath the skin
Slow abs. than I.M.
Advantages:
Self injection possible
Reliable route
27
28. Disadvantages of S.C. Route
Poor absorption
Repeated injections
resulted in atrophy of SC
fat, hence, irregular
absorption e.g. insulin
Irritation of subcutaneous
tissue
28
30. Inhalation
Inhalation = lungs alveoli sys circ.
Types:
a) Gas Inhalation = GA (halothane, enflurane)
b) Aerosol Inhalation = Drug particles suspended in
gas (inhalers) e.g., salbutamol, terbutaline,
ipratropium, corticosteroids
c) Powder Inhalation = Fine powder of drug inhaled
by spinhaler, e.g., sodium chromoglycate
30
32. Advantages
Rapid absorption from lungs (GA) = controlled
administration
Minimum systemic effects by aerosols &
powders
32
33. Disadvantages of Inhalations
Requirement of special apparatus for inhalation
Improper handling of apparatus
Obstruction of bronchial tree with mucous
Irritation of bronchial tree
33
34. Topical Route
External application of drug to surface for
localized action
E.g., skin, eye, ear, nose, oral cavity, vagina,
rectum & urinary bladder
Drug formulation = ointment, cream, lotion,
paste, powder e.g., Nitroglycerin (Patches on
skin)
