Medicine are administered depending on their mode of action. Some ways are orally through pills, topically through ointments or sprays or by injection into veins, muscles or fat.

It all depends on what type of medication you are taking or need to administer. Many medications are in pill form and could take it by mouth, as well as liquid forms of medication. Some medication requires administration via needle or in some cases, there are medications that are administered in the anus (although these are rare).
