Peripheral administration refers to the process of administering medication or treatment through routes other than the central nervous system, such as oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous administration. This method is commonly used in medical practice to deliver medications quickly and effectively to the body's periphery, where they can have a localized or systemic effect. Peripheral administration can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, infection, inflammation, and chronic diseases. It is important for healthcare providers to consider the most appropriate route of administration based on factors such as the patient's condition, the medication being administered, and the desired outcomes.
