I. PARENTERAL
A. Intravenous
Advantages: •rapid achievement of concentration
•precise delivery of dosage
•easy to titrate dose
Disadvantages: •high initial concentration - toxicity
•invasive - risk of infection
•requires a certain level of skill
3
There are some preparations that, due to
poor solubility of the drug, contain
solvents that may produce rate-related
toxicity. For example, diazepam injection
USP contains 40% propylene glycol,
among other solvents. Injected rapidly,
diazepam may induce hypotension or
arrhythmias. For this reason, it is
recommended that IV injections of
diazepam be given no more rapidly than 1
mL/min.
4
While it is generally viewed that 100% of drug
administered intravenously is bioavailable,
prodrug administration via this route may result
in less than 100% bioavailability.

37
Forms of pulmonary delivery
• Metered dose inhaler
• Dry powder inhalers
• Nebulizer
38
Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI)
• Propellant based
• Most common delivery system in
tx of asthma
• Chlorofluorocarbons vs
hydrofluoroalkanes
• Products contain a surfactant or
dispersing agent (e.g., oleic
acid)
• Co-solvent (e.g., ethanol) –
especially needed with use of
HFA
• Flavoring agent (e.g., menthol)
typical MDI
39
Techniques for use of MDI devices:
Two finger width
from mouth
Patient must
coordinate
inhalation and
actuation of
device
Use of space or
holding chamber
Placement of
inhaler in mouth
(not for use with
steroids)
40
Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI)
• Breath activated
• Micronized drug particles
blended with an excipient
(e.g., glucose or lactose)
• Physical properties of drug
and excipient critical (i.e.,
particle size, shape, surface
morphology, etc)
41
Diskus
42
Nebulizer
• Device produces small droplets from a
suspension or solution through an air jet
or ultrasonic atomization (quieter, but
more expensive)
43
Factors that influence deposition
of particles in the lung
• Physicochemical properties
• Formulation
• Technique (depth of inspiration,
pause prior to exhalation,
coordination of inhalation)
• Pulmonary disease

•Historically utilized only for local effects
•Growing number of compounds
administered intranasally that are
intended for systemic effects
•For drugs that are destroyed in the GI
environment (or first-pass effect)
•As an alternative to intravenous
administration – better safety and patient
acceptance
Drugs include anticonvulsants (midazolam),
narcotic antagonists (naloxone), peptides
(calcitonin, insulin), and smoking cessation agents
