Parenteral Products

I am woking on a project introducing parenteral products. there is some highlights in this project, which are:

1- "how may intravenous medications be given? Are there any differences in theis administration?"
--> should I talk about the central line and peripheral administration? what others things can I talk about?

2- "What are some considerations prior to determining hwo medications should be given intravenously?"
-->what should I do or talk about in this section

THank you for your help!!!! :smile:

1. Could talk about how different formulations are administered, e.g. IV injection, IV infusion.

2. Consider why different drugs may need to be given via different formulations, as mentioned above.

Yup, so for example, doxorubicin, an anti-cancer agent, can't be given into small veins due to extravasation - it has to be given into a large central vein, which often ends up being the vena cava.
