The oral route is the most frequent route of drug administration and rarely causes physical discomfort in patients. Oral drug forms include tablets, capsules, and liquids. Some capsules and tablets contain sustained-release drugs, which dissolve over an extended period. Administration of oral drugs is relatively easy for patients who are alert and can swallow. 2, record 1, English, - oral%20route
