Both are equally effective.. Injections should be reserved for emergency cases and for individuals with problem of the GlT..

Injection is the best, Works faster and effectively.

When you take drugs, it first of all gets broken down chemically in the body before it's been absorbed in the blood stream,Then your brain makes it detects the cuprit(virus/bacteria) you trying to treat then the drug in your blood stream gets fortified with your white blood and go straight to fight the disease. That's long process compared to when you take injection.

Injection boycotts being broken down and the brain consent, it just goes straight into the arthries and veins and start fighting the disease head on, it's when the war is ongoing, your brain will now realize, something is going on in this body, let me knock this whole body out so this process don't get interrupted(that's when you begin to feel dizzy and sleepy).

I hate injections with great animosity!
Re: Taking Injections Or Drugs, Which Is Best For The Body. by KevinDein: 6:35pm On Nov 03, 2019
I believe your question should be
"Injection or Oral route (by mouth)".

These are just routes through which drugs are administered into the body. Of course both come with their advantages and disadvantages. Most notably, injections have faster onset of action and are more appropriate in emergency cases. Also, almost all of the administered drug gets into the system (almost 100% bioavailability).

Oral route however is more convenient for patients (anyone can pop a pill) and hence more appropriate for outpatients.

It depends on the drug and how you want it to be absorbed

Some stuff needs to be released gradually

Plus needles are inherently more dangerous, most people would prefer to give an oral form and avoid needles unless its necessary ie diabetics

The great woman, Dora Akunyili of cherished memory, said it repeatedly that injection is not superior to oral drugs, except where the doctor decides that injection is preferable in a particular situation.

Some drugs don't have oral forms,so in cases like that you have no choice if that drug is the treatment for your condition.

I NEED YOU LYRICS BY MAC ANTHONY
[Verse 1]
From the day that I met you girl
I knew that your love would be
Everything that I ever wanted in my life
From the moment you spoke my name
I new everything had changed
Because of you I felt my life would be complete

[Chorus]

Oh baby I need you
For the rest of my life girl I need you
To make everything right girl
I love you
And I’ll never deny that I need you

[Verse 2]

Nothing matters but you my love
And only God above
Could be the one to know exactly how I feel
I could die in your arms right now
Knowing that you somehow
Would take my soul and keep it deep inside your heart

[Chorus]

Oh baby I need you
For the rest of my life girl I need you
To make everything right girl
I love you
And I’ll never deny that I need you

[Verse 3]

Girl your love to me feels just like magic
When you smile you have total control
You have power like nothing I've felt before
I've let all of my feelings show
Because I want you to know that.. I need you
I need you, for the rest of my life girl
I need you, say that you’ll be my wife oh
I love you, Won't you marry me marry me
Oh I need you (nobody but you)
Ooh I need you, for the rest of my life
Oh I need you (nobody but you)
Won't you marry me marry me
I love you, I really need ya baby (I really need nobody but you)
I need you
Girl I really need… need you girl I really need you need you (I need you)
Ooh baby I love you (I love you)
I need you, Girl I really need ya need you oh baby
Won't you marry me (I need you)
Won't you marry me marry me
I love you.. ooh
I need you. (I really need nobody but you)

Injection and drug are not two substances with opposite meanings. Injection is just a means of administring drug. So, whether taken by mouth or by injection a drug is always a drug.

Now to your question. It depends on the drug (some drugs can only be given by injection), the disease (some diseases have no oral drugs), the severity of the disease (use injection to deliver drugs in emergencies), and the state of the patient (injection for unconscious patients for example).

I hate drugs. I always feel like there is a lump in my throat after taking drugs and it also gives me stomach ache... I would take a hundred injections over drugs any day.

Different drugs are absorbed at different rates when given through various routes in the body. Some need to be taken orally so that they can be activated by the digestive enzymes in your gut or because they need to be absorbed more slowly. Some will only work when dissolved in oils while for some, they need water.

The ones given as injections can be given into the muscle, not only on the buttocks but sometimes the thigh or the shoulder. They are often given so a large dose can be slowly absorbed into your bloodstream over a period time unlike oral drugs which usually digest quickly. Sometimes, if the person is unconscious or dehydrated especially in emergencies, the drug is given through a large vein directly into the bloodstream for rapid action.

Drugs can also be given through the anus in children, epileptics or certain other conditions like hemorrhoids. Skin patches are also used for some medication.

The summary is that the way a drug is given depends on a lot of factors. None is better but there is a best way for every situation.

No side effects, it's incase the drugs don't work, then injection will surely work, that's when the case is extremely critical.

With all I read.

Its risky to rely on NL for some info.

OP, By drugs I know you mean oral administration and by injection you mean intravenous.

If my assumption is correct, pick drugs over injection anytime.

Injection may be faster because it bypasses the "first pass" which oral drugs have to deal with.

Unless time is a major factor and only injection is available, drugs is always advised as the dangers are far less than injection in terms of effect and remedy.

Nope, that never seemed like a biochemist.

Look below as see what looks like a biochemist.
