==Administering drugs==
Drugs, both medicinal and recreational, can be administered in a number of ways. Many drugs can be administered in a variety of ways rather than just one.
*Bolus is the administration of a medication, drug or other compound that is given to raise its concentration in blood to an effective level. The administration can be given intravenously, by intramuscular, intrathecal or subcutaneous injection.
*Inhaled, (breathed into the lungs), as an aerosol or dry powder. (This includes smoking a substance)
*Injected as a solution, suspension or emulsion either: intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intraosseous.
*Insufflation, or snorted into the nose.
*Orally, as a liquid or solid, that is absorbed through the intestines.
*Rectally as a suppository, that is absorbed by the rectum or colon.
*Sublingually, diffusing into the blood through tissues under the tongue.
*Topically, usually as a cream or ointment. A drug administered in this manner may be given to act locally or systemically.
*Vaginally as a suppository, primarily to treat vaginal infections.
