I can't wait for a time when no residents will say I am sick! I hate drugs, yes you heard me right, the mere sight of a pill 💊 usually makes me sick, the smell and the inconvenience it causes me when I drink it is nothing to write about, I will feel like throwing up but I couldn't (nausea) I will feel like it's stuck in my throat, drinking more and more fluids. But most times do we have any choice than going through all this discomfort? Well, if I'm ask to choose between orally and injected then I will Go for injection. Interesting contest I must say, and I would love to invite my friends @sbamsoneu, @jozzie90 and @ripon0630 to be part of it.

💉Which Of These Three Routes Of Medication Administration Do You Consider The Fastest And Most Effective To Relieve Pain, Why?

There are many routes of administering medication, it could be orally, intravenously, IV, intramuscular, IM, intrathecally, sublingually and rectally etc. Among these intravenous route is the best because it delivers a precise dose immediately in a well-controlled manner throughout our system. And it is preferable to intramuscular which would cause pain or damage tissues if it's irritating solutions.

The truth is that administering drugs intravenously delivers them instantly to our bloodstream making it more effective than other routes. However, health practitioners normally monitor the patient who receives an Intravenous injection closely for any sign that it's working well or it's causing unwanted side effects. Since the effect of drugs given intravenously normally lasts for a short period, drugs are given by continuous infusion to make the effect constant.

💊 There Are Two Ways To Administer Injected Treatment, Intravenous And Intramuscular. Which Of Them Do You Prefer In Case You Need Quick Relief Or Discomfort?

Of course, I always go for the intravenous because the effect is instant, as I said in the previous paragraph intravenous delivers the drugs directly into our bloodstream, which makes it more effective unlike intramuscular which will take some minutes before it becomes effective.

I recalled during my first pregnancy, I was induced to give birth and drugs were administered intravenously to have good and instant effects I gave birth to my son in 5 hours, another time my elder Sister @gracyakan treated me with an infection and she administered the antibiotics intravenously and the effect was amazing, this is why I normally prefer it. Nonetheless, health practitioners know better so I usually go for anyone the doctor advised.

💉There Is A Very Good Medicine For Our Body Vitamin B12, Why Do You Think They Indicate It More In Injection And Not In Pills? Do You Think They Do Not Have The Same Components Or The Same Effect?

Vitamin B12 is a very good drug that treats people who suffer from anaemia. But it's likely to be administered intramuscularly, I've asked my sister why. She told me that Doctors believe that the causes of deficiency of Vitamin B12, maybe that the patient has gastrointestinal disease, or lacks the important factors so to avoid the gastrointestinal barrier of this good medicine they normally give it intramuscularly.

Well, these drugs have the same effect be it orally or intramuscularly, they have the same components it's only that Doctors like administering it intramuscularly in case the patient has an underlying issue with gastrointestinal disease, apart from that you can go for anyone, it works the same way.

💊If You Are One Of Those Who Do Not Take Pills And You Do Not Like Injections, What Other Method Are You Looking For To Relieve Pain Or Discomfort!?

This is me, I don't like either way because of the inconveniences it normally causes me, I have this bad habit of forgetting to finish my doses, I mean once I'm relieved 😌 that's the end, and doctors said it is bad 😞 well that's one of the reasons I don't rush to take either pills or injections, because Our creator indeed created us to live forever if not for sin, our body system can heal itself, for example when we suffer from viral infections or food poisoning, sometimes all we need is drinking enough water and resting in bed as this will allow our immune system to use energy to fight the disease 🪰 and our brain can rest.

Sometimes I go natural, taking leaves 🌿 and root, Anema too, and this works wonders. For example, my kids were sicky in January so I called my mother and she prepared the Anema using some leaves and gave it to my kids, goodness if you see what they've passed out, it really cleansed their system and since then no cough nor catarrh, they're healthy and strong, so alternative like this do help me most times.

But in some cases I have no option than drinking pills or taking injections, as this is the only way to feel better. Health is wealth and life is a precious gift from God, let's appreciate life by always taking care of ourselves. Thanks for reading me and bye for now!
