GlossaryOral Administration

process of taking substances through the mouth for absorption

Oral administration, also known as oral intake or oral ingestion, refers to the process of taking substances, such as medications or supplements, through the mouth. This method is commonly used because it is convenient and non-invasive, allowing the substance to be absorbed through the digestive system. For professionals, it's important to note that the bioavailability of a drug can be affected by factors such as food intake, gastrointestinal pH, and first-pass metabolism in the liver.

Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.
