Main article: Route of administration |
|
|
All drugs, can be administered via a number of routes, and many can be administered by more than one. |

:Agree; removed and took 'bolus' out of that list, as its not a route of administration. ] (]) 16:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC) |

I suggest a section called ==Terminology== with the following text: |
|
|
|
|
|
The term "drug" has become a ]; ] can have a negative connotation, often associated with illegal substances like cocaine or heroin. This is despite the fact that the terms "drug" and "medicine" are sometimes used interchangeably.<ref>{{cite journal |pmc=7120710 |date=2011 |title=Introduction to Drugs and Drug Targets |journal=The Science and Business of Drug Discovery |pages=11–27 |doi=10.1007/978-1-4419-9902-3_2 | vauthors = Zanders ED |isbn=978-1-4419-9901-6 }}</ref> |

== Classification vs Medication content == |
|
|
|
|

The first half of the classification section is the exact same as the last paragraph of the medication section. I wonder if there is a way these sections could be combined, or be better distinguished from each other? ] (]) 06:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC) |

"Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause psychological or physical addiction."
Should be changed to "Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause addiction and/or physical dependence". " "Physical dependence" should link to the page "drug dependence" and "addiction" should have its own link.
