Learn the different routes of drug administration in a fun riddle format
1
I go in deep, but not too far,
Into your muscle like a shooting star.
I’m quicker than pills, but not the fastest lane—
Deltoid or glute, I take the pain.
👉 What route am I?
2
I’m direct and fast, right in your vein,
I skip digestion to ease your pain.
In emergencies, I’m often first in line—
I’m quick and strong, just like a sign.
👉 What route am I?
3
I’m just beneath the skin so fine,
With insulin or heparin, I take my time.
A pinch and poke is all I need,
To slowly help your body’s need.
👉 What route am I?
4
Up your nose I go with care,
Delivering meds through the air.
For pain or sprays to help you breathe,
I work real fast and cause no grieve.
👉 What route am I?
5
I treat infections, wax, or ache,
In one of two ears, make no mistake.
Just tilt your head and drop me in,
Let gravity help where I begin.
👉 What route am I?
6
I help your vision, red or dry,
One drop at a time into the eye.
Hold the lid and don’t blink fast,
So I can work and truly last.
👉 What route am I?
7
You breathe me in, not drink or chew,
I open lungs and help air through.
For asthma, wheeze, or even sleep,
I’m the route that travels deep.
👉 What route am I?
8
When you can’t swallow or keep food in,
I enter where digestion ends.
I melt or work without a bite,
And help you sleep or poop at night.
👉 What route am I?
9
I’m placed on skin and stay in place,
I work for hours at a steady pace.
You won’t feel me, but I’ll still go,
Through your skin, my meds will flow.
👉 What route am I?
10
I hide beneath your tongue so neat,
And never ask for food to eat.
I melt in place and skip the gut,
To work real fast with just a cut.
👉 What route am I?
