Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Orally administered drugs take longer to be absorbed into the bloodstream than intravenous drugs, allowing for more time to intervene in the case of an overdose. Additionally, intravenous drugs bypass the body's natural filters and are delivered directly into the bloodstream, increasing the risk and severity of overdose.
