The three basic routes of drug administration are enteral, parenteral, and topical.... The enteral route uses the gastrointestinal(GI) tract for the ingestion and absorption of drugs. The most common method of administering drugs through the enteral route is orally. The enteral route also includes drugs that are administered through a nasogastric(NG) or a gastronomy(G) tube. 1, record 1, English, - enteral%20route

Tuberculosis(TB) remains to be one of the most common problems affecting patients in developing countries where poor sanitary conditions, overcrowding and malnutrition exist.... It can involve any organ of the body including that of the gastrointestinal tract.... There are several theories regarding the development of tuberculosis of the intestine. These are through ingestion of TB infected materials and direct invasion of intestinal mucosa. Another is through hematogenous route by blood to the liver and excreted to the bile with subsequent invasion of the mucosa or by the intestines from primary or secondary tuberculoma. 1, record 3, English, - intestinal%20tuberculosis

Absorption of Toxicants After Special Routes of Administration. Toxic agents usually enter the bloodstream of man after absorption from the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. However, in studying chemical agents, toxicologists frequently administer these chemicals to laboratory animals by various special routes, the most common of which are(1) intraperitoneal,(2) subcutaneous,(3) intramuscular, and(4) intravenous. The intravenous route of administration introduces the toxicant directly in the bloodstream and thus the process of absorption is eliminated....
