What are the disadvantages of oral medication administration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absorption: The primary disadvantage of oral administration of medication is the variable rates of how the medication is metabolized and absorbed in the GI tract. Some oral medications are taken on an empty stomach while others are with food. Not following the recommended instructions can significantly affect how the medication works.
