Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oral consumption is the least efficient method of drug administration because it is subject to first-pass metabolism, which reduces the amount of drug that reaches the bloodstream. Inhalation is more efficient than oral consumption because it bypasses first-pass metabolism. Injection into the bloodstream is the most efficient method of drug administration because it delivers the drug directly to the bloodstream.
