""SNORTING MEDICATION""

THERE ARE MANY WAYS that medication can enter your system. Many routes include: anally (suppository), sublingal (under your tongue), IM (intramuscular shot), IV (intravenous shot) SC (subcutaneous shot), orally (swallow it), intranasally (sniff it up your nose). The three quickest routes are: under your tongue (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries), up your nose (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries) and up your butt (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries). The question is why would you want to snort amoxicillin ( antibiotic )? It might get in your blood stream a little quicker, but in the process, you will damage the tissues in your nose. The only thing you should "snort" is nose drops or anything else that is specifically made for your nose. For some reason, people think they might get "high" if they snort a medication instead of swallowing it. I guess that stems from the idea that if you can get high snorting cocaine or heroin, then any medication you snort will get you high. The problem with that idea is that it is the drug that gets you high, not how you get into your bloodsteam. Think of it this way: you will get high from cocaine or heroin whether you snort it, eat it, smoke it, or stick it up your butt. <<<ADR>>>
