What are the Advantages of Subcutaneous Administration?
There are several advantages to using the subcutaneous route in toxicological studies:
Ease of Administration: It is relatively straightforward to administer substances subcutaneously, making it suitable for repeated and precise dosing. Slow Release: The slow release of substances from the subcutaneous tissue can mimic natural exposure scenarios, providing more relevant data. Reduced First-Pass Metabolism: Unlike oral administration, SC administration bypasses the digestive system and liver, preventing first-pass metabolism and allowing more accurate assessment of a substance's toxicity.
