The introduction of a substance into the gastrointestinal tract by the way of the rectum, usually for systemic action. Depending on the molecular structure, drugs cross the rectal wall via either intercellular or tight junctions interconnecting the mucosal cells. Drug absorption is usually around 50% of normal oral dose. Due to the drainage pattern of the rectal veins, the hepatic first-pass effect tends to increase as the dosage form is placed deeper into the rectum.

It provides for relatively slow, sustained release of the drug. The rate of absorption into the blood is perfusion-limited, proportional to the amount of drug at the site and can be enhanced by chemical or physical stimulation of blood flow. Subcutaneous administration minimizes the risks associated with intravascular injection: for subcutaneous infusions, external and implantable pumps are used. C148636 EDQM Health Care Terminology C38300 Sublingual Route of Administration Sublingual use 20067000 Administration of a medicinal product under the tongue to obtain a systemic effect. Administration of a drug beneath the tongue. The route provides rapid absorption, the drug immediately enters the bloodstream without first passing through the intestinal wall and liver.

This term is only to be used where a single specific route of administration (e.g. 'Cutaneous use') cannot be identified. Comment: This term is not intended to describe an authorised route of administration for use in marketing authorisations. It is intended for use in adverse event reporting for pharmacovigilance purposes where more-specific information on the route of administration is not available.
