Pharmacokinetics deal with the speed at which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and. The most common of drug administration is oral. Drugs can also be injected, inhaled, topically, etc. Oral administration is also very challenging in terms of absorption. The drug has to go all the way from your mouth, to the intended target: As soon as you take a drug into your mouth, it is being absorbed. Some are being absorbed by the mucous membranes in our mouth; the rate of this depends on the drug.
