Intravenous (IV) administration

Intravenous administration refers to the administration of a drug directly into a vein, either as a bolus dose or via an infusion. There is no need for absorption, and bioavailability is 100%. This is not necessarily the case for injected biologics, which may undergo some proteolysis at the injection site.
