Understanding Internal Administration: Definition & Methods

The phrase "administered enternally" means that a substance or medication is given into the body through the mouth or digestive system. This can be done in various forms, such as tablets, capsules, liquids, or powders, which are swallowed and then absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive tract. Internal administration is commonly used for medications that need to be taken orally to reach their target site within the body or for substances that are best absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
