Answer» What is intranasal mean? Nasal administration, popularly known as snorting, is a route of administration in which drugs are insufflated through the nose. It can be a form of either topical administration or systemic administration, as the drugs thus locally delivered can go on to have either purely local or systemic effects. Nasal sprays are locally acting drugs such as decongestants for cold and allergy treatment, whose systemic effects are usually minimal. Examples of systemically active drugs available as nasal sprays are migraine drugs, rescue medications for overdose and seizure emergencies, nicotine replacement, and hormone treatments. Recently, the nasal route has been proposed to direct drugs and antibodies directed against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 to prevent viral loads and minimize neuroinvasion by the virus. The nasal route for Targeting other microbes as the " Brain-eating amoeba " has been also been hinted as the nasal cavity is the natural route of the Naegleria fowleri to the brain. reference |
