Now many medicines are available in different forms: from tablets to injections. Gastroenterologist of the Clinical Diagnostic Center “Medincenter” Natalya Slyunyaeva toldthat each form of release has its own advantages and disadvantages. According to her, only a specialist can choose the most effective treatment, taking into account the severity of the disease and the age of the patient.
“The main task of pharmacology is the creation of effective drugs with minimal side effects. Considering all the variety of drugs today, only a doctor can accurately prescribe the form of taking drugs, taking into account the patient’s age, gender, severity of the disease,” – the doctor said in an interview with the AiF website.
The expert noted that tablets are more convenient to use, but they are absorbed much more slowly than capsules or injections. Slyunyaeva added that a lot also depends on the nature of the disease – if it is an acute form of the disease, then injections will be more effective.
