Nasal Administration

Meaning

Nasal Administration is a pharmaceutical route of drug delivery where therapeutic agents, such as certain peptides or hormones, are delivered directly into the systemic circulation via the vascularized mucosal lining of the nasal cavity. This method offers a non-invasive alternative to injection, capitalizing on the high permeability and rich blood supply of the nasal epithelium. Clinically, it is often favored for agents requiring rapid onset of action or direct access to the central nervous system.
