Parenteral drug products

Parenteral drug products are medications administered directly into the body through injections, such as intravenous (vein), intramuscular (muscle), or subcutaneous (under the skin) routes. Unlike pills or liquids taken orally, these drugs bypass the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and more precise dosing. They are typically used in hospitals or clinics for urgent, specialized, or sensitive treatments, including antibiotics, vaccines, and hormones. Parenteral products require sterile preparation to prevent infections and are carefully manufactured to ensure safety and effectiveness.
