Administration
This route, while not the fastest, is the most common due to affordable costs and many brands being readily available over the counter.
Oral
This source produces drugs such as Digitalis, Quinidine and Morphine.
Plants
The medications in this class most often consist of the following word bases:
-cin
ceph-/cef-
-cillin
Antibiotics
This is an allergic reaction often referred to as hypersensitivity that may lead to urticaria, hyperemia, shock, laryngeal edema and/or dypnea.
Anaphylaxis
This is the name given to a substance that is taken into the body via ingestion, inhalation, injection or absorption.
Poison
This route is the most preferred because it is the fastest; however immediate absorption and delivery to major organs renders this the most dangerous.
Intravenous
This source is where medications such as Antacids, Laxatives Sunscreen and Auranofin are derived from.
Minerals
The 3 types of this class include thiazide, loop and potassium- sparring.
Diuretics
Allergic reactions to medications are more likely to occur in patients with these.
Other known allergies.
People may use this reference, in a non-emergency, to identify a witnessed ingested medication for learning its side effects, adverse effects, contraindications and name when unknown.
Physicians Desk Reference
This type of injection is administered at a 45 degree angle into fatty tissue; primarily with a 5/8-inch needle.
Subcutaneous
aka: Insulin
This source allows us to produce hormones such as Thyroid, USP.
Animals
These inhibit the H+/K+ ATPase which reduces available acid secretion.
PPI
aka: Proton Pump Inhibitors
Allergies to penicillin's often receive antibiotics from this class with a low allergy potential rate of about 10%.
Cephalosporins.
Vomiting should be avoided in this type of poison due to the high risk of further damage to the esophagus.
Corrosive Materals
Suppository
This source allows for the creation of drugs such as Demerol, an analgesic not derived from plants.
Synthetic
These may prevent ischemia by lowering plasma LDL and c-reactive protein in type-2 diabetic patients.
Statins
A common food allergy to this usually coincides with an allergic reaction to iodine and contrast media.
Shellfish
Do NOT apply ice or a tourniquet to this type of poisoning as it may cause sloughing (necrotic tissue falling off)
Snake Bite
This route of administration allows drugs to be injected directly into the brain via a catheter.
Intraventricular
This source allows us to create vaccines, hormones and other chemicals otherwise produced by the endocrine system such as insulin.
DNA
aka Genetic Engineering.
The main function of this drug is to decrease stimulation of the heart and help to treat sympathetic activity unlike CCBs and ACE inhibitors.
Beta blockers
The response of this type of white blood cell is attributed with the effects of an allergic reaction.
