I've noticed injections work pretty faster for me than drugs, but I hear some saying drugs are best for use. I remember when I was down with typhoid and was taken to the hospital, the doctor recommended some drugs, and I told him injections works well for me but he declined, after some weeks no major improvement he then recommend injection, and that very day I was very much relieved and that's all. to the medical personnel, is there any sought of side effects taking injections?

All you people that put 15 tablets in the mouth before looking for cup to fetch water, where you born under a "bitter leaf" tree?

Injections are drugs, I’m sure you were trying to compare injections and orally ingested medications like tablets, caplets and syrups. But they are all drugs irrespective of how they find their way into the body.

Instead of allowing pharmacists to enlighten people here some self styled online 'doctors' will take it upon themselves to spread baseless assertions.

Op I was like you until I had serious injection abscess that almost crippled my enemy. For more than a year, I was battling with it. The scars are still visible.

Since then, whenever I see syringe I die a thousand times over. That experience forced me to prefer tablets to injection. Otherwise, injection works faster on me.

Injections are more effective than drugs(tablet) in most cases ( Certain conditions require taking the drug in solid form though because if it is administered in liquid form it will break down and lose some of its properties required for the treatment of the ailment) . If some injections are given as drugs they will be destroyed by the enzymes present in the stomach like (but not limited) to pepsin. Just let your doctor decide.
what's this one saying! Enzyme destroying drug? Where in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics did you find that oga? Say only what you are sure of on here pls. The OP sef injection and drugs, lol.

Yes now. Enzymes and stomach acid can degrade medicines and reduce bioavailability and absorbtion. Thats one of the main disadvantages of the oral route
Re: Taking Injections Or Drugs, Which Is Best For The Body. by Nobody: 8:24pm On Nov 03, 2019
Give me the injection all at once, I may likely forget taking the tablets.
Though not scare of the tablets either, im only afraid I may forget!

All medications whether given by injection, by mouth or rubbed on the skin are called drugs or medicines.

Most medicines have to enter the body for them to do their work of curing sickness.

Some medicines can be rubbed on the skin to cure rashes or some skin infections like ringworms.

To get the medicine inside the body you have a number of ways, by mouth ( swallow) , by injection either under the skin or inside the flesh (muscle) or directly into the blood usually via a vein. There are also medicine that can be given by inhalation into the lungs ( like medicines for asthma ) . There are also eye drops, ear drops and so on.

The Doctor will chose the best method of giving the medicine for that patient taking many factors into consideration. For example can the Medicine be given by mouth? Can the patient take it by mouth? Is he concious and fit enough? How urgent is it to get the medicine working? Will injection give faster action and relief than by mouth? Please note that there are some medicines that cannot be given by mouth and must be by injection e.g. insulin for diabetes.

We should allow the Dr. to prescribe how the medicine should be given, but we can ask for explanation on why this way and not the other way. In a few cases the patient can be given the choice - when it is harmless to do so.

nymphomaniac:
OP what that doctor did to you by prescribing injection for you after taking drugs is called the “placebo effect”

Trust me, that injection did nothing. He just played with your head since you have so much faith in it.


To your question, I’d rather take 1m drugs than a shot of injection. I hate needles with passion though there are times needles are better Cos they are faster acting.
That's not a "placebo effect" in this case. The injection actually worked. A placebo is not a drug, but has semblance of a drug. All medication (injections and tablets) are dependent on a number of factors. There are injections which are administered intravenously, (in this case, the injection is directed straight into the veins and this has a very rapid effect depending on the timing of the injection), there are some administered intramuscular, (these are injections administered at sites with large concentration of muscles such as your buttocks) and there are subcutaneous injections, (these injections are administered by skilled health personnel by slightly lifting up the skin).
Its important to note that the choice of administration is heavily dependent upon the rate of absorption of the drug and sometimes the urgency for treatment.
On the other hand, the active ingredients in most tablets or capsules are relatively smaller than entire size of the drugs, the outter layer can be coated with carbohydrates or sweet and colourful coating as in the case of drugs for kids. When a tablet is injested, it dissolves and gets absorbed into the blood stream and because of the time taking for all these processes to be complete, the relative time for the drug to act is elongated.

You should confirm things before 'mis yarning' . You obviously don't know that insulin can't be given as a tablet- it will be digested by pepsin being that it's protein.

Yes, and too sensitive to denaturation in the acidic environment

But they are working on a new capsule that might help them to be able to swallow it and stop injecting

Instead of me to take 1 tablet of paracetamol kukuma give me 5 injections. I hate the smell of drugs, will just vomit my intestines out.

Thank God I hardly fall sick

I have seen my double. Guy, we are on the same table, same WhatsApp group. I hate tablets like that. I prefer injections hundred times than tablets. But I have device a means to overcome that vomiting part of tablet or difficulties in taking tablets orally, what I do is to put each tablet in a handful of swallow #wink# like eba, semo or pounded yam, and swallow the mole. Lol. But despite all this measures, I still feel somehow when taking the tablets, but it is still better than just taking the tablets directly. Try it
