Systemic administration

Systemic administration is a route of administration of medication, nutrition or other substance into the circulatory system so that the entire body is affected.¹ Administration can take place via enteral administration (absorption of the drug through the gastrointestinal tract)² or parenteral administration (generally injection, infusion, or implantation).³⁴

Contrast with topical administration where the effect is generally local.⁴
