5 Ways Drugs Enter the Body

• Drugs such as ointments, drops, and sprays can be
  applied directly to the linings of the eyes,
  nose, and mouth, where they are absorbed into the
  body.
• Drugs inhaled through the mouth or nose enter the
  lungs and pass quickly into the bloodstream.
  Inhaled medicines work quickly.
• Drugs dissolved in liquid can be injected by
  needle directly into veins or muscles.
• Many drugs are swallowed. They pass through the
  stomach and are absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Creams and ointments can be rubbed onto the skin
  for absorption. Patches containing medicines can
  be placed on the skin.

• A dose is the amount of a drug taken at one time.
• Doses differ to account for age, body weight,
  health, state of mind, presence of other drugs,
  and possible side effects that determine a
  drugs effect on the body.

An unwanted reaction to a drug is called a SIDE
EFFECT.Sometimes when a person takes a drug too
frequently, his or her body becomes used to it.
The body may develop a TOLERANCE, a condition in
which increasing amounts of a drug are needed to
produce the desired effects.Not all drugs lead
to tolerance, however.
