The administration of a medicine is a common but important clinical procedure. It is the manner in which a medicine is administered that will determine to some extent whether or not the patient gains any clinical benefit, and whether they suffer any adverse effect from their medicines. For example, intravenous furosemide administered too quickly can cause deafness; oral penicillin given with food will not be well absorbed; over-application of topical steroids will cause thinning of the skin and may lead to systemic side-effects.

Two main factors determine whether or not a drug will reach its intended site of action in the body:

The bioavailability of the drug;

How the drug is given (route of administration).
